GOAL! Salisu Mohammed, Salis Abdul Samed celebrating one of the goals<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The Black Stars yesterday shrugged off an early pressure from South Korea to post a 3-2 win in their second Group H World Cup game at the Education City Stadium in Doha, Qatar.<\/p>\n The win was Ghana\u2019s first, having lost controversially to Portugal in their opening game last Thursday.<\/p>\n The Asians pressured their African counterparts the first eleven minutes, resulting in as many as four corners.<\/p>\n The pressure lingered on for some time but the Black Stars failed to make use of an Inaki Williams and Jordan Ayew move.<\/p>\n Few minutes on, the Ghanaians profited from a Mohammed Kudus free kick which Salisu Mohammed connected home from a melee in the 27th minute.<\/p>\n Later, the Stars settled so well and resorted to inter passing, which resulted in the second goal courtesy Kudus with 14 minutes to the end of the first half.<\/p>\n The Koreans restarted the game strongly again, and one of their probes nearly resulted in halfing the deficit, but goalkeeper Lawrence Ati Zigi intervention was timely.<\/p>\n The Ghanaians responded few minutes later from the flanks with smallish Tariq Lamptey doing some serious running.<\/p>\n The Asians pulled one back and later canceled the lead in a spate of six minutes through Guesung.<\/p>\n Ghana restored their lead through player of the match Kudus, who fired home a grounder from a close range after a Williams miss few minutes later.<\/p>\n Ati Zigi came to Ghana\u2019s rescue with a save from a free kick.<\/p>\n Otto Addo reshuffled his cards by replacing Lamptey, Kudus, the Ayew brothers and Gideon Mensah with Denis Odoi, Alexander Djiku, Kamal Deen, and Baba Rahman.<\/p>\n The pressure resurfaced in the dying minutes but the Otto Addo men proved equal to the task.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Betway is giving customers the chance to win an incredible GH\u00a230,000 every matchday.<\/p>\n All entrants need to do is opt in to the promotion and make correct score predictions on World Cup games to enter the daily draw.<\/p>\n \n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" GOAL!
