Kwasi Appiah made a five-star start to his competitive tenure as Black Stars coach guiding the senior national team to a 5-0 win over Ethiopia in their 2019 AFCON Group F opener at the Baba Yara Stadium.<\/p>\n
The Stars dominated the one-sided tie from Start to finish with debutants striker Raphael Dwamena, winger Thomas Agyepong and fullback Lumor Agbenyenu impressing.<\/p>\n
\n
Black Stars skipper, Asamoah Gyan opened the floodgates in the 10th minute when he glanced home a header into the net off an Ethiopian defender.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The goal came from an assist by tricky left winger Agyepong who floated in a cross for Gyan’s 50th goal in the colours of the senior national team.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Ethiopians were yet to recover from the early setback when striker Dwamena knocked down a ball for defender John Boye who controlled before firing high-up into the corner of the net.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The pick of the goals was scored with the game inching close to half time when midfielder Ebenezer Ofori cut in on his left foot and rifled home a fierce long-range shot into the top corner of the net.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After a delayed restart to the second half, the Stars continued to dominate the Ethiopians and scored the fourth goal in the 48th minute through Dwamena who prodded home from close-range after the Ethiopian keeper saved a Dede Ayew shot.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The FC Zurich striker who wasted some opportunities completed his brace in the 60th minute with a poachers effort after an Ethiopian goalkeeping howler from a cross by Agbenyenu.<\/p>\n
