Ghana win again in Asia

Asamoah Gyan bagged a brace as the Black Stars continued their impressive tour of the Far East. Michael Essien completed the scoring to give the African side another triumph to follow on from Wednesday's 1-0 victory over Japan.

South Korea were fielding an under-strength side, without most of their European-based players, but Ghana did not pause to ask any questions, Gyan opening the scoring three minutes into the second half with a header.

Essien then doubled the lead with another header before Gyan made it three with a left footed drive.

Kim Dong-hyun netted a consolation for the Koreans when he pounced on a rebound, and the home side will be hoping for better when they face Syria on Wednesday in an Asian Cup qualifier.
