Ghana’s Black Starlets returned to winning ways after beating Serbia in the early hours of Friday in the ongoing UEFA U-16 international tournament in Russia.

Laryea Kingston’s men responded with a commanding performance in their second game after losing their opener against Russia.

Ghana picked up a win with a 5-1 win in Zenit.

The West African side began the game strongly but had to wait until the 15th minute to open the scoring. Captain, Abdulai Nortey scored with a brilliant curler after Ernest Ofori had beaten his opponent to the ball.

The Starlets continued to press for the second goal which came in the 44th minute with Benjamin Hanson scoring from the penalty spot after Ebenezer Anane was fouled in the box.

David Kwame Koranteng made it 3-0 on the stroke of halftime as he connected well with Abdul Baaki Haruna’s cross.

Kingston made no changes at the break.

Anane, who won the penalty for Ghana’s second goal, scored the fourth goal of the day after a brilliant exchange of passes between him and Koranteng.

Serbia pulled a goal back in the 67th minute of the game to make it 4-1.

With just a few minutes away from the full-time whistle, Benjamin Tsevanyo came off the bench to score to wrap up the victory for the Starlets.

Ghana will now face Kazakhstan in their final game of the four-nation tournament on Sunday, April 28.

The tournament forms part of Ghana’s preparations for the 2024 WAFU B U-17 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers to be staged in Accra.
