Ghana managed to withstand the threat posed by South Korea as the Black Satellites wont he five-goal thriller 3-2 with the Asians reducing the deficit on two separate occasions.
"It was a great match and it must have been nice to watch for everyone. For us though it was a very difficult match. I have to pay tribute to Korea Republic; they gave us a very tough match. They pass the ball well and they have tremendous energy. If they'd have been a bit more clinical, it would have been even more difficult for us. Coming out of the extra time against South Africa and a change of venues, I was delighted with the way my players responded," Ghana coach Sellas Tetteh said.
