Sunyani soccer fans jubilates over Black Stars victory

Sunyani, June 14, GNA - Even though Serbia succumbed to a 0-1 defeat to Ghana, at the FIFA World Cup in South Africa, some soccer fans in the Sunyani Municipality expressed disappointment about the Black Stars inability to score more goals.

However, immediately after striker Asamoah Gyan connected a brilliant penalty that led the national playing body into victory, the fans poured into the principal streets to celebrate.

Economic activities in the Sunyani Central Business area came to a halt immediately the match started.

Most football enthusiasts who spoke to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) expressed optimism that the Black Stars would utilise the chances that might come their way in their next encounter with Australia.

"The players played very hard so we have to celebrate", George Osei a football fan told the GNA.

"We lost focus and our shots at goal were also not directed", Kwame Opoku, a taxi driver said.

At Penkwasi and New-Dormaa quarters, almost all the drinking spots were occupied by football fans who were dressed in the national colours. "Even though some us could not afford go to South Africa to support the national team, we deemed it a responsibility to demonstrate our commitment that we are behind the players", Kwaku Nsiah, a businessman stated.
