Ghana's Black Stars maintained their resplendent form in the 2010 World Cup, going past Swaziland 3-0 before home crowd and sending string signals of their intentions of their capabilities ahead of the 2012 Nations Cup Finals. And according to Sunderland's new recruit, Asamoah Gyan, the win was an ideal start for the team.
Goals from midfielder Andre Ayew, striker Prince Tagoe and defender Hans Adu-Sarpei secured the win at Somhlolo Stadium in Lobamba on Sunday according to the FA website.
And the result sees Ghana go top of the standings in Group I on goal difference after Sudan beat Congo 2-0 in the group's opening fixture on Saturday.
Gyan, who recently signed for Sunderland in a record club deal came close to finding the back of the net but was denied before his substitution in the second half, and the striker admits that the host, watched by King Mswati, played well. 'We were the better side,' Gyan said, '(even though) the home team played and fought well.' Ghana's next match in the qualifiers is at home to Sudan later in October.
