Forget Six-Goal Romp - Appiah

[Folami David]

Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah told his stars Wednesday to forget the 6-1 World Cup play-off thrashing they gave Egypt in Kumasi.
.
Captain Asamoah Gyan scored twice, Majeed Waris, Sulley Muntari and Christian Atsu once and Egypt skipper Wael Gomaa put through his own net in a stunning outcome.
.
The 'Black Stars' were favoured to win the first leg of a tie offering the overall winners a place at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
.
However, neither Appiah nor a team lacking five first choices could have dreamt of such a huge winning margin at a near-full 50 000-capacity Baba Yara Stadium Tuesday.
.
"We must prepare well for the return match and forget we have a five-goal advantage," Appiah said, looking to the November 19 second leg in Cairo.
,
"My team dare not underestimate Egypt and their strengths after this result."
