Title decider as Ghana Premier League resumes

Ghana were better opposition than China – albeit England performed exceptionally well on Saturday – and they had a few opportunities to test goalkeeper Anna Moorhouse, starting just her second game in the absence of injured duo Hannah Hampton and Khiara Keating. Arsenal full-back Taylor Hinds, who made her debut alongside Kendall in October, put in another solid and assured display, while Chelsea forward Beever-Jones headed an effort on to the crossbar. She had come close to setting up Kearns beforehand, but her Aston Villa team-mate could only direct the ball straight at goalkeeper Cynthia Konlan Fiindib. Russo almost scored with her first touch in the second half and hit the post after Beever-Jones and Lucy Bronze had headed efforts on to the crossbar. Before Russo struck, Kendall and Villa club-mate Missy Bo Kearns were among those to come close to adding to England’s opener, while Aggie Beever-Jones was denied on a few occasions.

While the petition was being addressed, Ohene Djan led a “Football Revolution” and succeeded in toppling the Akwei Administration in 1957. England’s most experienced player Bronze also hit the crossbar with a diving header as Wiegman’s side could have added to their tally easily. All eyes were on Kendall before kick-off as she made her return to Southampton – the club she spent almost a decade with from her youth, breaking into the senior side and scoring 29 goals in 103 appearances. The Aston Villa midfielder also hit the crossbar – one of four times England struck the woodwork in another dominant display.

Eight nations have been based in Abidjan during this tournament and when it comes to each of their fans, the Ghanaian supporters have been the most sceptical, critical and downbeat of the lot. Through conversations with sources (some of whom have been stationed at the team hotel) who would like to remain anonymous to protect their employment statuses, The Athletic has been told why things have unravelled in such a disappointing manner.

The country did not have a particularly cohesive football infrastructure, with a distinct lack of facilities. Yet the talent and sense of brotherhood among the squad was so strong that it didn’t seem to matter. After waiting for half an hour, many of the journalists realised none of the squad were coming as mandated but instead were heading straight to their team bus.

There is never a conversation about the Ghana Premier League and it’s standards — or lack of it — without the sub-plot of player movement.

This is Ayew’s eighth appearance in the biennial event, and he aims to become the first player to score in seven different editions. The nation has not reached an Olympics in 20 years — the tournament features under-23 players and three overage players — and they haven’t qualified for an Under-20 World Cup since 2015. As a golden generation of Essien, Muntari and Appiah aged out of the side, a steady decline began.

The success at the World Cup in South Africa had been eight years in the making — those in the squad had featured in tournaments together, including the 2004 Olympics and 2006 World Cup. For many followers of Ghanaian football, it all started to go wrong after the team reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup in 2010.

Essien, Sulley Muntari and Stephen Appiah had all progressed through the youth levels in Ghana, graduating to the senior setup at roughly the same time.

In a crucial moment, Luis Suárez blocked a shot with his hand and was thrown out, but Ghana missed the resulting penalty and was later eliminated in a penalty shootout. Led by players such as Michael Essien, Sulley Muntari, and Asamoah Gyan, the Black Stars qualified for their first World Cup in 2006.
