It was not the worst of starts for new Bafana Bafana coach Molefi Ntseki in his first competitive match, but it was not the best either as South Africa were out-muscled and out-manoeuvred by Ghana in a 2-0 defeat in Cape Coast on Thursday night.

Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah had China-based centre-forward Emmanuel Boateng up-front with Jordan Ayew on the left and Andre Ayew a deep striker also drifting out to the right.

Ghana came out fired-up on a smooth surface in front of a small but noisy 15,000 crowd that packed the compact venue. Ghana's goal came in a period when the Black Stars were trying to draw Bafana out, but they sat back. Ghana, with a goal's lead, could come out moving the ball around with greater fluidity and authority from the break. Bafana showed fight and structure to keep the Black Stars at bay.
