Lesotho 2-3 Ghana

A brace from Junior Agogo helped Ghana to a 3-2 away win over Lesotho in a Group 5 2010 World Cup qualifying match played in Bloemfontein, South Africa.

Laryea Kingston put the Black Stars ahead in the 15 min.

Agogo, who is expected to move to Egyptian side Zamalek, then struck four minutes from half-time for Ghana's second.

He then climbed unmarked to head home a 63rd-minute corner.

Lesotho scored two dramatic goals inside 60 seconds at the end of the game, first from Sello Muso and then a stinging long-range shot from captain Lehlohonolo Seema.

"We lost concentration at the end but I'm satisfied with two wins in a row," said Ghana coach Sillas Tetteh.
