Keeper's
header saves Black Stars
Ghana goalkeeper Richard Kingston turned goal scorer in
Dar-es-Salaam on Wednesday, as he rescued a draw for the
Black Stars against Tanzania.
The visitors, under their new coach Milovan Rajevac for the
first time, were trailing one-nil with seven minutes to go.
They won a free-kick outside the Tanzanian area, and
Kingston came up to help.

He
took up a position in the Taifa Stars' wall and rose to head
home a perfect free-kick, delivered by none other than his
brother Laryea.
Earlier Henry Joseph had put Tanzania into the lead, as he
headed home a Juma Jabu cross in the 34th minute.
Playing without most of their Europe based players, Ghana
barely threatened for much of the game.
Milovan Rajevac was happy with his first match in charge
Milovan Rajevac expressed satisfaction with the result.
"I don't think my players have played badly, I have just
taken over and I am still trying different formations," he
said.
Tanzanian coach Marcio Maximo said it was a good learning
experience.
"It was a good lesson for the boys, we are gaining good
experience by playing top teams like Ghana," he said.
The match aided Ghana's preparations for their World Cup
qualifier against Libya next month, while Tanzania, who are
without any hopes of qualifying, are preparing to face
Mauritius.
