Legon Cities Goalkeeper Vincent Anane was in post for the Black Satellites for today’s game. Muhaison Mahmoud and Eugene Ampofo were on the rightback and left back respectively.

Bechem United’s Aaron Essel was also handed a starting role as be partnered Jonas Adjetey in central defense for the Black Satellites.

The introduction of Isaac Mensah and Abass Salifu Samari lifted the performance of the team as Ghana saw more opportunities in the game.

The Black Satellites will take on Indonesia in the second group game on Thursday June 2.
