Ghana posted a convincing 3-0 win over World Cup-bound Saudi Arabia on Tuesday in an international friendly.
The Black Stars produced a commanding performance, totally dominating the Green Falcons to record the victory in Jeddah.
Just before the half-time whistle, debutant Kassim Adams Nuhu opened the scoring for Ghana. The Switzerland-based defender unmarked inside the Saudi Arabia box connected home a corner kick from the right.
Ghana doubled the lead in the 69th minute courtesy an Osama Hawsawi own goal after Thomas Partey squared a pass across the face of goal having received a telegraphic pass from stand-in captain Daniel Amartey.
Saudi Arabia were unlucky not to have pulled one back in the 86th minute when Amartey cleared a goal-bound effort on the line.
But two minutes from time, Partey's industry was rewarded with a beautiful goal after smashing in from the edge of the box after collecting a pass from Ebenezer Ofori. His fifth goal in last four appearances.

What the Ghanaian coach should bare in mind profondly is that he must not look at the players he should rather see himself as a coach and this means a lot . Good coaches nowadays want to be active always and that's the reason why they pop in themselves to be in good clubs . If he want to be an effectif coach he must go out to watch matches in all parts of the world . You can see Joachim Lowe in South America watching football why ? . You can see Zinedin Zidane in China watching football why ?Only but watching other teams apart from his team .Move to see other expériences in football else where . You can get more stuff for your team .
long time ago....
@kwabena Oppong let bygone be bygone we have passed that stage long time ado. It is up to the coach to decide. Now let's do the math. Ghana vs Uganda plus old guys at Tamale 0-0. Away with new faces Ghana won only to be robbed by referee Daniel Bennett. Ghana vs Congo plus old guys at Kumasi 0-0. Away at their own backyard with new faces 5-1, New faces went ahead to beat Saudi Arabia 3-0. Therefore, the national team is progressing to become a formidable one in future.
Kwasi Nyantakyi and Kwasi Appian must apologize to Sulley Muntari and KP Boateng respectively. Hindsight has proven both players right. Their expulsion from camp is behind the team's current woes. Egypt gave each player $85,000 right after they qualified. Why did Ghana need to wait for Muntari to lead a revolt after two games before Ghana's players were paid money they earned a year earlier? Sulley is a hero! KP Boateng rightfully questioned Appian's selection in the match against USA. Basically, the use of Jordan and Atsu to start games is what has cost us a World Cup place. Boateng was right. And they very right thinking Ghanaian knows it. Yet we humiliated him. It is time to apologize to them and solve our problems.
