No win in four as Black Stars draw with South Africa
Ghana Black Stars went four games without a win as
a 52nd minute strike from Bafana Bafana winger
Ayanda Patosi denied Ghana a win in their
international friendly in Durban.

Midfielfer Mubarak Wakaso had put Ghana ahead from
the spot in the first half but they were unable
hold on and make the most of their first half
dominance.

Avram Grant made four changes to the team that
started against Uganda and it was one of the new
faces, Abdul Majeed Waris, who showed an early
sign of Ghana’s dominance by testing keeper
Mhlongo.

The Black Stars had the better of the exchanges
and were duly rewarded when Mubarak Wakaso scored
from the penalty spot after Harrison Afful was
fouled in the box.

Christian Atsu could have doubled the shot but saw
his strike go wide after forcing keeper Mhlongo
off his line.

Back from recess and the South Africans began to
probe more and found the leveler through Ayanda
Patosi.

Chances came aplenty for both sides afterwards,
but they could not make the most of it as Ghana
recorded their third consecutive draw against an
African side.

There were Ghana debuts for Sweden based Enoch Adu
Kofi and midfielder Gilbert Koomson. Midfielder
Mubarak Wakaso was adjudged the man of the match

Up next for the Black Stars is the World Cup
qualifier against Egypt.

Ghana XI: Kwarasey; Afful (Gyimah), Rahman, Boye,
Amartey; Partey, Wakaso (Gyan), Atsu (Koomson),
Acheampong( Accam); Waris (Adu Kofi), Tetteh.
