Ghana in morale boosting win, whips second division side

Ghana thumped second-tier side Asokwa Deportivo 7-1 in a friendly on Friday evening ahead of next week's World Cup playoff against Egypt.

Udinese midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu opened the scoring with a cool finish off a David Addy cross.

The Division One side surprisingly pulled even through David Owusu-Ansah on the half hour mark to awaken the Black Stars from their temporal slumber.

Mubarak Wakaso restored Ghana's lead five minutes later with a trademark finish.

Striker Mahatma Otoo then stretched the lead moments later with another good finish.
