A Wakaso Mubarak 40 yard screamer was the highlight as the Black Stars made short work of a Emmanuel Adebayor led Hawks in the final qualifying game in Tamale.
The on-loan Celtic midfielder struck a thunderbolt to give the Stars a 2-goal lead. Abdul Majeed Warris had earlier headed the Stars in front with his first goal in months for club and country, captain Agyeman Badu sealed the win with a superb solo effort in the second half.
Jonathan Ayittey headed the Hawks to within a goal’s deficit just after half time, but Agyeman Badu’s effort put the result beyond the reach of the Hawk’s who’s frustrating afternoon was brilliantly epitomised by the forlorn figure skipper Adebayor cut upfront.
After losing Asamoah Gyan and Kwadwo Asamoah, stand in skipper Andre Ayew joined the injury list but the Stars showed little rust in a brilliant opening half.
