Ghana World Cup players impress in training match

Published on: 27 May 2010

A band of players led by striker Asamoah Gyan beat a Stephen Appiah-captained team 4-3 on Thursday at Ghana's pre-World Cup training match in Paris, France.

Ghana's provisional 29-man squad had to play among themselves after plans to engage Auxerre and Montpellier collapsed at the eleventh hour.

A young looking Gyan XI was composed of players like goalkeeper Daniel Agyei, Dede Ayew, Dominic Adiyiah, Lee Arday, Kwadwo Asamoah, Isaac Vorsah.

Captain Gyan was on target, Hoffenheim striker Prince Tagoe scored two goals and AC Milan forward Dominic Adiyiah sealed it.

The Appiah XI paraded Richard Kingson, Hans Adu-Sarpei, Laryea Kingston, Derek Boateng, Quincy Owusu-Abeyie.

Mathew Amoah found the back of the net and substitute Sulley Muntari hit a double for Stephen Appiah's team.

Latecomers Anthony Annan and Sulley Muntari in the second half as head coach Milovan Rajevac shuffled his personnel on both sides.
