The Black Stars of Ghana thumped the Pharoahs of Egypt 6-1 at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in a World Cup qualifying playoffs.

The result is the heaviest defeat suffered by the Egyptians in any qualifier.

Even the  Black Stars players who were the architects of the humiliating defeat of the Pharoahs were themselves shocked.

Myjoyonline.com covered every whistle, every tackle, every goal, every drama in the enthralling Holy Goals Fire episode at the Baba Yara Sports.

A heavy downpour heralded the crucial encounter but both teams had more to think about than a chilling weather. The fans were unmoved. 

The Egyptians were fired up for victory with push-ups shortly before the game. The rains were not a bother at all.

Gomaa the most experienced Egyptian defender was ready for war. He had the skill but his pace was suspect. He was ready nonetheless

The two teams filed onto the pitch poised for action. The atmosphere was electric. The rains did it best to ease the pressure.

The two teams share pleasantaries ahead of hostilities.

The Ghana Black Stars first XI line up for the beginning of what was seen as easily the most important game in Ghana's recent football history.

The Egyptians first XI were not left out too.

Ghana's Sports Minister, Elvis Afriyie goes round shortly before the game to fire up an already charged partisan crowd

Five minutes into the game and Ghana's skipper Asamoah Gyan gets the Stars' noses in front with well taken goal. He is mobbed by his colleagues, Kwadwo Asamoah, Dede Ayew, and Majeed Waris on his left.

The Stars again mob Majeed Waris for his sumptuous third goal.

Waris was easily the thorn in the flesh of the Egyptian defence. His team mates acknowledge his contribution and applaud him fr his efforts.

Waris was miles away from his colleagues shortly after he leapt to head home Ghana's third goal. 

Michael Essien has been swarmed around by his team mates for his solo effort in getting Ghana's second goal. Even though Gomaa eventually knocked the ball into his own net, Essien's solo effort in dummying two Egyptian defence and the goal keeper was absolutely incredible.

 

Sulley Muntari readies to convert the penalty after Waris was brought down in the vital area. The AC Milan star buries the ball for Ghana's 5th goal.

 

The Kumasi stadium was nearly thrown into darkness after a smoky celebration by the Egyptians who had just equalised from a penalty to bring the scores at the time to 2-1. 

The Egyptian goal keeper had to be substituted. He sustained an injury early in the game after he collided with his tormentor-in-chief Abdul Majid Waris.

Egyptian coach, Bob Bradley looks distraught at the post match press conference. His Egyptian world cup dreams have suffered a severe dent and now hangs on the power of a miracle to qualify to Brazil 2014. It is the second defeat he has suffered as coach in the hands of the Black Stars of Ghana.
