Ghana U17 trounce over their Indian counterparts

-


The Black Starlets recovered from a defeat to the United States to beat host nation India 4-0 to book a place in the next round of the on-going FIFA under 17 FIFA World Cup.

A brace from Captain Eric Ayiah and a goal each from substitutes Danso and Toku were all Ghana needed to end India’s World Cup dreams.

The host nation started the game brightly, pinning Ghana to the wall but the Starlets stood their ground to ensure that their defensive line wasn’t breached.

Ghana grew into the game and created some decent openings but the frontline led by captain Ayiah could not make the best out of the numerous chances created. Ghana had the breakthrough on the stroke of half-time when Eric Ayiah pounced on a rebound to register his first goal of the tournament.

Ayiah’s first-half goal lifted the pressure on the Starlets who returned from the break to play with freedom, confidence and panache.

The Starlets attacked their opponents incessantly and eventually got the second of the game when Ayiah powered home an exquisite pass from Hassan.

Ghana did not rest after the second goal, pilling more pressure on the Indians whose confidence dropped to its lowest ebb after the second goal.

Substitute Richard Danso got Ghana’s third goal in the 85th minute before Toku blasted a rebound in to make it 4-0 to the two-time winners.

In the other group A game, Columbia recorded a 3-1 win over the United States to book a place in the next stage alongside Ghana

And it comes full circle. Former UCC SRC Presidential candidate and current T.A at the school, Abena Kokor Addo, has seemingly backtracked on her allegations of s*xual escapades with big men and claims it was due to a ‘relapse’. Korkor, who suffers from bipolar disorder, took to social media to apologize for her actions, attributing it to a relapse of her mental condition. The weekend in Ghana was lit after Korkor came out with allegations against several ‘big men’ in the country, who she claimed pay for s*x. She revealed each one’s strength and weaknesses in bed and caused a massive furore. However, after the story trended for over a couple days Korkor is now seemingly walking it back. She posted on her whatsapp status that — “I apologize if I hurt anyone. God be our strength,” She also wrote: “I shall not die but live and declare to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

USA out of 2018 FIFA World Cup

The United States failed to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 1986 after losing to Trinidad & Tobago and a controversial goal for Panama. The US started the night in the third qualifying place but ended up fifth after losing 2-1. Panama jumped up to third after an 88th-minute winner against Costa Rica to reach their first World Cup finals. However, it was their opening goal that caused debate with Gabriel Torres' header not appearing to cross the line. The 52nd-minute equaliser came from a corner with Torres' effort hitting the post and as Blas Perez tried to force the ball over the line, Ticos defender Ronald Matarrita looked to have cleared it. However, despite complaints from the visitors, referee Walter Lopez of Guatemala gave the goal. Honduras beat already-qualified group winners Mexico to also leapfrog the US and secure fourth spot in the table and a two-leg play-off against Australia. The US beat Panama 4-0 just last Friday but, de
