The Black Starlets of Ghana on Wednesday proved themselves better dancers of ‘Samba’ than Brazil as they booted the South Americans out of the on-going FIFA World Under-17 football tournament to qualify for the Quarter Final Stage.Looking rather uncoordinated and forced to endure the entire second half plus 6 minutes of time added on with 10 men, the Starlets handed their opponents a rather bitter defeat from the boot of Isaac Donkor in the opening minutes of the second half and to send football fans in Accra onto the streets with wild jubilation.With a huge disadvantage, following Francis Boadi’s expulsion just before the break, the Starlets rose to the challenge and played well enough to be credited with 49 percent of possession; plus they squandered the more glorious of opportunities.Starlets’ hit man and skipper, Ransford Osei was just unlucky to add to his four goals as his well-directed header from inside the Brazilian goal area just whisked past the post.
