Mexico Humble Ghana

A complex of miscommunication and poor field strategy has dealt a 2-1 blow to the Black Stars of Ghana in the hands of their Mexican counterparts. An Essien back-pass which rolled off the shin of the Star’s goalkeeper was pounced upon by a lurking Mexican who obviously had been looking for an equalizer. Ghana was the first to register an opener when Essien cut in on an intelligent pass from Sulley Muntari in 54th minute of the second half. In a game that started off with a high tempo it was just likely that the unexpected could happen. Mexico comfortably leapt into a lead with a penalty Ghana’s captain John Mensah described in his gestures as undeserved. The Black Stars of Ghana played passing football in the most part of the match, advanced to threatening tackles but later ended up defending. Even though the game saw both sides eager to run each other chewy, it failed to burst into any excitement.
