The come-back kings, the Black Stars fought back to draw 1-1 with Libya in the ongoing CHAN tournament currently on-going in Bouake. It was a game full of drama and comical goal scoring errors by the Stars, but the penchant for Libya striker Ahmed Sa’ad to score against the Black Stars was again in vogue when he connected a well rehearsed free-kick early first half. Saad jolted the Stars in a heartbreaking 1-0 defeat in Tripoli in the 2010 world cup qualifiers and looked set to repeat the dose. He did, in the most spectacular fashion in the 25th minute and spited the Stars with a kangaroo celebration. The Stars in the first half were generally uninspiring, unproductive, in spite of the 4 new introductions made to the team by coach Milovan Rajevac after their disappointing 2-2 draw with Zimbabwe in their opening game. Two of them, Jordan Opoku and Harrisson Afful could not be faulted for their individual brilliance on the day but added very little to the total team performance, at least in the first half. The stars striking department led by Kojo Poku and Yaw Antwi went dead, and whilst the former was substituted, the latter was kept on the entire duration, making nonsense of what the striker's role is all about. Yaw Antwi blew away what should have been the 65th minute equaliser, but in the six-yard box and with only the goal keeper to beat chose to pass, one that eventually went wayward. His only contribution, crucial though, was a flick on to substitute Owusu Ansah in the 74th minute who tipped the ball above the approaching Libya goalkeeper for the equaliser. The Stars were close yet far from victory after Jordan Opoku’s terrific strike and Charles Taylor’s glancing header both took a ricochet of the bar. The Libyans were not passengers in the game. Goal scorer Saad gave chilling moments as he run through the Stars defence at will but was always unlucky to get a final touch to his crosses. A dreadful defending by Osei Bonsu nearly gifted the Libyan an own goal, but Philemon McCarthy in post for the Black Stars was quick to react. Milovan Rajevac was thrown out of his bench by the referee for over stepping his bounds, but should be regretting his decision to Keep Owusu Ansah on the bench for that long. Ansah pounded the goal area of the Libyans many time but was unlucky to get a second bite of the cherry. The results put the group wide open with each of the four teams having an opportunity to make it to the semi-final stage of the competition. DR Congo leads the group with four points followed by Ghana and Zimbabwe with two points apiece. Libya is languishing at the bottom with 1 point. The Stars will come up against DR Congo in a must-win match on Sunday. Story by Nathan Gadugah
