Brazil coach Tite has praised the Black Stars for an improved  second half performance in the friendly game on Friday.

The Black Stars of Ghana endured a torrid first half against the selecao of Brazil on Friday night in Le Havre as they were handed a rude awakening in a passive display in the first  45  minutes.

Brazil could have scored more than the three goals they had in the first half as Richarlison and Vinicius Junior wasted chances that came their way.

Marquinhos headed home a corner kick from Raphina in the 9th minute before a well-worked team effort was curled home from outside the box by Richarlison in the 28th minute with a pass from Neymar.

The Tottenham forward completed his brace in the 40th minute to make it 3-0 after connecting with a free kick from Neymar after a foul on Neymar from Andre Ayew.

“In the first half, the team had pace and the performance, they dominated and controlled.

In the second half, Ghana managed to control for 15 minutes, we could not finish them as they had a wall of five players,” Tite explained after the game

At the same time, we were solid. If we didn’t create, we didn’t let our opponent create either. With the entry of fresh players [off the bench], we regained dominance.”

Ghana will face Nicaragua on Tuesday whereas Brazil lock horns with another African side in the shape of Tunisia.
