The stellar cast of football stars who featured in the African Union Peace Match organized by Michael Essien for charity.
A World XI select side beat an Africa XI select 4-2 at the Ohene Djan Sports Stadium on Wednesday.
Former Arsenal man Freddie Ljungberg was thrilled by the turn-out at the 40,000 seater capacity stadium.
“I am surprised how well people came out for the game. Even when it was raining, they were in good spirit. I am delighted it went so well.”
Paintsil said he was overwhelmed by the support, but above all by the response of the players.
“They have come off a long season and yet to choose to come here and play. The support from Ghanaians for this good cause was great.”
Ashley Cole added, “It a great cause to come here. Of course we can’t change the world with a game but it was good to come here and send a positive message out.”
