Zambia game is a must-win-Muntari

Stand-in Black Stars captain Sulley Muntari admits the 2014 World Cup qualifier against Zambia is a must win.

The Stars have revenge on their minds after losing 1:0 to the Zambians at the semi final stage of the 2012 African Nations Cup.

The Chipolopolo could also prove to be the main stumbling block for the Stars as they chase a third consecutive appearance at the World Cup.

After leading Ghana to a 7:0 rout over Lesotho last Friday, Sulley Muntari acknowledged that Ghana needs to collect all three points from the reigning African Champions.

"We want a good result so definitely,â" the AC Milan Star said adding that, "we are going to celebrate a bit but tomorrow we will start preparing for Zambia."

The former Udinese and Portsmouth midfielder admitted that Zambia will be a different opposition compared to Lesotho.

"But with Zambia it's going to be a difficult game but we will try out best to get a good result."

The game against Lesotho was marred by a one hour, 20minute delay due to due floodlight malfunction at the stadium. However Muntari says the strange occurrence did not take the shine off the performance of the Stars.

"No we came back with three more goals and it was very important. It's part of life so we accept it. It was a great result, fantastic play and very down to earth. We took it the way we wanted it and it went through so we are very happy."
