Buoyed by this spectacular goal, the team kept the pressure on their counterparts till the half came to an end.The second half saw a rejuvenated Black Challenge pestering the goal area of El Salvador till the second goal came through Emmanuel Yemoh, who raised his tally to two in the competition. Collins Gyamfi increased the lead to 3-1 through a free kick that zoomed into the posts to seal victory for Ghana, his second goal in the tournament.The game continued with some rough tackles from El Salvador who injured two of Ghana’s players.
