Ghanasoccernet brought you live update of the Black Stars goalless draw game against Tunisia's Carthage Eagles from the Ohene Djan Stadium in an  international friendly on Wednesday.

 

The Black Stars failed to live up to expectation and were the better side. New boy Sam Kyere had a bad outing and work hard for a place in our crowded midfield.

 

The Tunisians should have won and Ghana need to double up effort. Head coach Humberto Coelho will be much pleased with the result.

Players of both teams are on the pitch and Ghana has brought on Junior Agogo for Prince Tagoe. Draman also substitutes Sam Kyere.

 

45+2-Half-Time: The Black Stars have struggled in this half and will have to improve in the second-half. The defence is a bit porous and the attacking force is blunt. Head Rajevac must overhaul his side. The second-half will be much better from two-side
