The drought for a goal in the Afcon 2013 has finally ended with the presence of Ghana – the Blach Stars of Ghana.
The first goal of the tournament had a distinctly Italian flavour to it as both the architect and the beneficiary play their football in Serie A. Badu is currently on the books at Udinese while Asamoah is at Juventus.
What can we expect from the second half then? After finally seeing the tournament’s inaugural goal then hopefully they’ll be plenty more to follow. Let the floodgates open!
