Paa Kwesi Fabin begins Black Meteors job on a bad note
It wasn’t the best of start for Paa Kwesi Fabin who had a debut to forget following Black Meteors humiliating 6-0 defeat against Japan’s Olympics team on Saturday.
The Ghana U24 team were pummeled and embarrassed by their Japanese counterpart in a game that could have been worse.
Fabin stood on the touch line hapless and arms akimbo as he watched his side been teared apart by a far superior side.
The Japanese after an excellent start took the lead through Ritsu Doan, a shot by Takefusa Kubo was saved by goalkeeper Esso, Doan sent a half volley straight into the net via the near post to put his side ahead.
The second goal came 16 minutes later after a totally dominant play by the Japan U24 team.
Real Madrid’s Takefusa Kubo was the scorer this time as he curled in with his favirite left foot after receiving a pass in the box.
Japan showed no signs of slowing down after another attack in the 45th minute forced Ghana to concede an own goal. A Hiroki Sakai cross was turned in by a Ghanaian Frank Assinki, eventually ensuring a 3-0 lead for Japan at the first half break.
Three minutes after restart, Soma Yuki made it four for the hosts.
It was then goal after goal as Ueda Ayase made it 5 nil for the home side.
The Japanese added one more goal in the 89th minute to make it 6 courtesy a shot in the box by Kauru Mitama.
Ghana launched only one good attack which the Japanese goalkeeper denied Osman Bukari’s effort in the second half.
It’s definitely a wake up call for Paa Kwesi Fabin who replaced Ibrahin Tanko six months ago.
Ghana will get another chance to redeem themselves against the same opponent when they two side’s meet on Tuesday at the same venue.
