Hundreds of jubilant football fans thronged principal streets of Dansoman, suburb of Accra, to celebrate Black Stars victory over their Angolan counterpart in a 1-0 quarter-final on Sunday.
The fans most of whom were adults defied traffic regulations on the streets as they chanted and sung victory songs amid drumming and dancing.
The Black Stars humbled the Angolans and shattered their Africa Cup of Nations dream with a lone goal that was fetched by striker Asamoah Gyan in the 16th minutes of the first half.
Eighteen-year-old Emmanuel Twieku, who was optimistic of the Star's victory before the match told the Ghana News Agency that though he did not expect a bumper harvest of goals for the Black Stars, he was sure of the Stars victory.
A young lady, who only gave her name as Naana predicted the game would run into extra time, but could not determine which of the contending teams would carry the day.
The principal streets in Dansoman were virtually deserted, minutes into the start of the game as most residents glued to their television sets savoring every minute of the game.
Most drinking spots and electrical and electronics shops were filled with unusual attendance and fans were heard yelling, clapping and groaning as they watch the match.
Goalkeeper, Richard Kingson's 29th minute save in the first half as well as a 43rd minute goalmouth melee in the Ghana's side, nearly eclipsed the lone goal joy the fans had held unto.
After the full minute of play was over, the once deserted streets were filled with vibrant activities as some drivers honked in celebration.
Some jubilant crowd spotted at the Last Stop Trotro Station in Dansoman made up of miniature self-made choristers, sang their hearts out as they received support from passersby.
Most people expressed the optimism that the Ghana Black Stars would qualify to the final stage of the competition.
