Ghana secured a 2-0 win over South Africa in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualification Group C match at the Cape Coast Stadium on Thursday.
As a result, the Black Stars kicked off their qualifying campaign with an impressive victory, while Molefi Ntseki suffered a defeat in his first competitive game in charge of Bafana Bafana.
The Black Stars were the better side in the opening stages of the match and they should have grabbed an early goal through Jordan Ayew in the 10th minute.
The Crystal Palace striker connected with Thomas Partey’s free-kick and South Africa goalkeeper Ronwen Williams produced a good save.
Bafana Bafana were forced to make a change when Bongani Zungu went down injured and he was replaced by Thapelo Morena two minutes before the half-hour mark.
The hosts piled pressure on South Africa and they managed to open the scoring through Atletico de Madrid midfield maestro Partey’s deflected shot to make it 1-0 to Ghana in the 35th minute.
Bafana had a chance to level matters just before halftime, but Percy Tau’s low shot was well-saved by the Black Stars keeper Richard Ofori and Ghana were leading 1-0 at the break.
Jordan Ayew was keen to put his name on the score sheet after the restart as his powerful shot missed the target just before the hour-mark. (SuperSport)
