Isaac Vorsah is confident the Black Stars will put The Flames to the sword on Saturday
By Patrick Akoto
Ghana defender Isaac Vorsah says their quest to qualify to the 2013 African Cup of Nations lie in their own hands.
The Black Stars will take on Malawi in the crucial reverse leg of the qualifier in Lilongwe needing to avoid a 3-0 defeat to qualify to the continental showpiece.
Coach Kwesi Appiah is leaving no stone unturned to ensure the team’s impressive record against The Flames will not be halted in the Southern African country.
He has assembled a host of stars who have been in top shape for their respective clubs both home and abroad for the crucial decider on Saturday.
There is some sense of anxiety among Ghanaian local fans ahead of the fixture in the capital but the in-form Red Bull Salzburg towering figure is confident the team can scale the hurdle. .
“Everybody is serious about this match because we want to qualify. We’ve been training hard for this game because we cannot afford to disappoint our fellow countrymen,”
“We are going there to beat them but our destiny will lie in our own hands. We are only praying for a good day.
“We never had it easy in the first leg but they (Malawi) are also not going to have it easy against us at their own backyard.
“We have a solid team and I believe we can put the Malawian to sleep.”
Malawi and Ghana have met on five previous occasions with the Ghanaians winning on four of those and a draw in the other.
Malawi have never scored against the Ghanaians in five games despite conceding 16 times in those games with 12 of those goals coming in the very first meeting between the sides in a friendly in 1962.

vorsah defence is always one goal in favour of the opponent so ihate to watch ghana match when vorsah playing defence without john mensah.
NONSENSE!!! You are an example of a STUPID Fan! Did your so called stupid theory apply in the first game??
NO!!!
People learn from mistakes and experience is the best teacher. Vorsah might even score a goal, so stop the hate.
i lyk ya vim Vorsah we have to win all our remain matches,we dont care about what fifa or caf is doing
GHANA WILL DEFEAT EVERY SINGLE TEAM FOR THE REMAINING OF THE QUALIFIERS. WATCH THIS SPACE. BRAZIL 2014 IS NOT FOR CLASSLESS TEAMS.
More vim vorsah..
You’ve only beaten weak teams ever since appiah came in as a coach..you get raped by any half decent team..Liberia, anyone?
Yes, you used the word “raped”. That is what actually happened. It was rape by the Liberian referee in a game with liberia.
Remember that game was a friendly and our stars will not risk their limbs in a meaningless game
I like the attitude in the camp. Dede said almost the same thing and Painstil also expressed the seriousness and strong bond in the camp.
The players are professional who knows the importance of this match. Malawians are aware that, this game will favor Ghana.
Dede, Wakaso, Atsu, Kwadwo, Warris and Gyan in one team? one of our strongest squad ever paraded.
An average team like Malawi shouldn’t be a threat to our ambitions but rather tried and tested powerhouses like Ivory Coast, Senegal, Egypt, Nigeria & Cameroon. If we cant beat a team like Malawi then we have no business doing in SA in 2013 not to talk of winning the ultimate, we have to show our quality by beating this Malawians at their own backyard on Saturday.
