2012 Afcon/Ghana: Black Stars dedicate win to Annan

Ghana players have dedicated their 2-1 Africa Nations Cup quarterfinal win over Tunisia to teammate Anthony Annan., who lost his mother before the game


The Black Stars wore black armbands as a sign of respect to Madam Sophia Sampson, the mother of Annan, who died on Thursday evening.
Captain John Mensah says the win is a befitting parting present to the Annan family.
"We dedicate this victory to Anthony Annan especially his mother because we all know he lost his mother when we were preparation for a tough game like this," Mensah said.
"So we dedicated this win to him (Annan) and the whole of Ghana as well."
