Chelsea stalwart Michael Essien scored once and set up Portsmouth midfielder Sulley Muntari for
Ghana's second goal and that was all The Black Stars needed to see off Morocco yesterday and win
Group A, likely avoiding Ivory Coast in the quarterfinals by doing so. The 2-0 scoreline was even a
bit misleading as Ghana really dominated this game, but Morocco were very unfortunate to have an
own goal by Ghana and West Ham defender John Paintsil disallowed as the whistle had already been
blown for a foul even though replays showed there was none.

Ghana put themselves in a very strong position to win Group A and qualify for the quarterfinals of
the 2008 African Cup of Nations with their 1-0 win over Namibia yesterday. The Black Stars aren't
exactly winning with style right now, but they're getting the job done and former MLS star Junior
Agogo's 41st minute tally from close range was all they needed to pick up the three points.

The first important game of the 2008 African Cup of Nations took place yesterday and once again, a

into the net to give Ivory Coast a critical 1-0 victory.
