The Black Meteors of Ghana lost yet another match in their tour of Asia when South Korea defeated them by 2-1 in the final game of their tour in Asia at the Jeju World Cup Stadium.
The Asians who are preparing for the Olympic Games football tournament in Tokyo next month scored in each half sandwiched between Osman Bukari’s strike to record a 2-1 win over coach Paa Kwesi Fabin’s side.
Although Ghana gave them a strong opposition compared to the first game, they were still no match for them.
The black meteors failed to hold onto their fine start when the defence allowed Jeong Woo-Yeong to break their back to score from 4 minutes to halftime.
The Meteors after the recess drew level courtesy Joselpho Barnes in the 51st minute. Osman Buraki latched unto a through ball and rounded the goalkeeper before squaring the ball to Joselpho Barnes who place it into the net.
The Asians however restored their advantage 13 minutes later after Dong-Jun Lee fired a shot past goalkeeper William Esso.
Ghana, later on, were reduced to 10-men after Legon Cities attacker Jonah Attuquaye was given the marching orders.
Today’s defeat comes after the Black Meteors suffered an earlier 3-1 defeat to the Olympic side on Saturday morning.
That was all Ghana could afford as the Koreans held on to play to win the game. In all, the Black Meteors lost all 4 of their friendlies against Japan and South Korea, shipping 15 goals and scoring 2.
It all started with the 10-0 aggregate hammering from Japan, then the 3-1 defeat to South Korea on Saturday, and today’s 2-1 loss.
