Ghanaian fans at the stadium
The Black Stars have beaten Zimbabwe in their own backyard 1-0 to take their points tally to nine from twelve points after four games.
Thomas Partey’s freekick goal in the first half at the National Sports Stadium in Harare, Zimbabwe was enough for the Black Stars to complete a back-to-back win over the Warriors.
The Arsenal midfielder, who started the game as the captain in the absence of Andre Dede Ayew, was on target from a direct free-kick, and that goal produced the maximum points for Ghana.
Coach Milovan Rajevac and his backroom staff have now gotten a one-hundred-win percentage after taking over from the sacked CK Akonnor and his two assistant coaches.
Ghanaians on social media couldn’t hide their admiration for the team as the Black Stars’ win today over Zimbabwe means that the country’s hope of making it to the 2022 FIFA World Cup tournament in Qatar is still alive.

You can’t downplay Milovan Rajevac’s effect on the Black Stars. The lads put up a good fight for this victory to be served.

Much needed win against Zimbabwe. South Africa were frustrated to a 0-0 draw in Harare but the Black Stars pick up 3 points. Two more wins and we qualify from Group G. pic.twitter.com/ljYMiExd5f

Six points
Four goals scored
Confidence restored.
The Milovan Rajevac effect on the Black Stars has been immediate and now getting through to the next stage of the qualifiers for Qatar 2022 doesn’t sound so far fetched. pic.twitter.com/Q6ijIENbsR

Thomas Partey has 12 goals already for the Black Stars from Central midffield. That is crazy.

When Partey steps up in a Black Stars shirt, the impact is always good.

One of Milovan Rajevac’s first meetings as new Black Stars Head Coach was with captain Andre Ayew
The serbian trainer informed the skipper that he would not be a guaranteed starter as he was under previous coaches.
He is on the bench today. pic.twitter.com/3SdwjXl2Lx
