International Friendly: Brazil Thrash Ghana

The Black Stars of Ghana suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat to the Selecao of Brazil in an international friendly match played on Friday in France, BSNSports.com.ng report

Ghana was responsible for the ouster of Nigeria's Super Eagles from the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup after securing their qualification through an away goal rule.

Tottenham Hotspur striker Richarlison was the hero in the game as he scored twice in the 3-0 bashing of the former African champions.

Marquinhos headed Brazil in front from a corner and Richarlison doubled the lead before the half-hour. The Tottenham Hotspur striker nodded in a third on 40 minutes.

Unbeaten throughout World Cup qualifying, Brazil’s only competitive loss since going out to Belgium in the 2018 quarter-finals in Russia came against Argentina in last year’s Copa America final.

Brazil coach Tite fielded a strong, attack-minded side that could well start their opening game of the World Cup against Serbia in Lusail on November 24.
