Ghana’s Olympic soccer team, the Black Meteors beat the Amagluglug of South Africa 3:1 on Sunday to keep alive their hopes of making it to the 2008 Beijing Olympics.Striker Asamoah Gyan, provided the opening and closing goals (20th and 85th minutes), with Bernard Kumordzi providing the second in the 34th in an enterprising game at the El Wak Stadium.The Black Stars striker proved too hot for the Amagluglug defence on the afternoon and on the two occasions that he managed to drive his shots past goalkeeper Ithumeleng Khune, Asamoah provided a perfect mix of his trademark pace and strength to shrugg off considerable resistance.But the Amagluglug, whose consolation came through Erwin Isaacs in the 55th, have themselves to blame for going down. On several occasions, they located the ball behind the Meteors players except goalkeeper Eric Nii Baah, and somehow, they managed to squander the chances.
