The Black Satellites put one foot in the second round of the world cup after a deserved 3-2 victory over South American champions Argentina in a thrilling goals laden encounter.

The Satellites raced into a 3-0 lead by the middle of the second half, but a determined comeback by Argentina aided by loss of concentration from Ghana led to a crazy end to the game as they tried to grab the equaliser.

Ghana began the game the better of the two sides, creating some early first half chances. It was obvious the introduction of Clifford Aboagye had brought an improvement to their ability to recycle the ball and launch counter attacks.

The first 40 minutes was a Ghana attack fest, with Argentina getting in the occasional chance. Samuel Tetteh and Benjamin Tetteh all missed glaring opportunities, before the latter scored a few minutes before half time.

Clifford Aboagye picked the ball in the centre of the pitch, sent a through ball into the lanky forward whose shot on the turn looped the Argentine goalie.

Their preparations have been flying quite under the radar but Ghana’s U-20 Men’s football team are currently in Senegal getting ready to take on the rest of the continent.

The Black Satellites have had a stunning record in recent years, and would be hoping to keep that run intact at these championships. To that end, it helps that they have one of the most decorated youth level coaches in the world.

Sellas Tetteh is that man, having led the side to African and World Cup glory in 2009. After a brief hiatus, he returned to lead the same side to the world cup semi finals in 2013, having earlier finished 2nd at the 2013 African championships. Having made the final in both appearances, he would be expected to take the team at least that far this time around as well.

The Black Satellites qualified with a comfortable 4-1 aggregate win over Gabon last August, sealing their place at this tourney. The team was domiciled in Turkey for the past fortnight, getting ready for an onslaught on the tournament they haven’t won since 2009.
