VIDEO: Watch highlights of Ghana U-17's big win over Serbia

Ghana's under-16 national team, the Black Starlets, demonstrated their strength on the field with a resounding 5-1 win against Serbia in the UEFA U16 Development Tournament.

This triumph followed their initial 3-1 loss to hosts Russia earlier in the week, showcasing their ability to bounce back with vigor.

From the onset, Ghana asserted their dominance, dictating play and netting three goals in the first half alone. Abdulai Nortey opened the scoring in the 15th minute, setting the tone for a dynamic attacking performance.

Benjamin Hanson extended Ghana's lead just before halftime with a confident penalty conversion in the 44th minute.

The first half concluded on a high note for Ghana as David Koranteng found the back of the net on the stroke of halftime, granting his team a comfortable advantage.

In the second half, Ghana maintained their intensity, with Ebenezer Anane and Benjamin Tsevanyo adding to the scoreline.

Despite Serbia managing a consolation goal through Stulic in the 68th minute, Ghana's dominance remained unshaken.

This victory serves as redemption for Ghana following their defeat to Russia, reaffirming their resilience and determination.

With one more match against Kazakhstan on the horizon, the team remains steadfast in their preparation for the upcoming WAFU Zone B U17 Tournament in Accra next month.

The UEFA U16 International Development Tournament provides a valuable platform for Ghana to refine their skills and tactics ahead of the prestigious U17 WAFU competition.

The team's commanding performance against Serbia underscores their commitment to success on the global stage and highlights the talent and potential of Ghana's young footballers.
