Inter Milan midfielder Sulley Muntari and Chelsea‘s Michael Essien scored the goals either side of the break that ensured Ghana would top Group D and clinch a spot in South Africa next June.
Ghana‘s victory coupled with Mali drawing 1-1 with Benin enabled the Black Stars to become the seventh nation to join hosts South Africa in next year’s 32-nation tournament. Brazil qualified on Saturday to also join the Netherlands, Japan, Australia, North Korea and South Korea.
‘Priceless honor’ "It’s a priceless honor for them to represent their country and qualify for a big competition like the World Cup,” Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac said.
