This is the Black Star&#8217;s second match in the Kirin Cup Tournament. They lost the first game against Japan by 4 goals to 1. It was redemption time for them against the Chileans. They gave a very good account of themselves under difficult circumstances. To make matters worse for us, we got 2 red cards in the second half. Alidu Seidu and Mubarak Wakaso were sent off leaving the Black Stars with 9 men to finish the match. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/03000ce52f1b41a7a4d27077c80eb062\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Manaf gave a very good account of himself. For me, he is a better choice than Ati Zigi and must go to the world cup. The second half wasn&#8217;t different and the match had to be decided on penalties. That was when Manaf showed his heroics. He saved 2 spot kicks for us to win 3 &#8211; 1 on penalties. His movements show he will be a good penalty stopper. He might be our saviour at the world cup if any of our games had to be decided on penalties. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/6c12ec39bd2940f1b491486cd97e10be\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Even though this was just a single match, he showed a lot of potentials. He needs more minutes to further prove himself. The KAS Eupen stopper is one to keep for the future.<\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: Courageous92 (via  Opera<br \/>\nNews )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
