Jamaica's senior Reggae Boyz team lost the first of a two-match tour of England today when they went down 4-1 to Ghana at Leicester City's Walkers stadium. Ghana, winners of four African Cup of Nations titles proved too strong for the Reggae Boyz scoring two goals in the first half and two in the second half for a convincing win. Ghana took an early lead after just five minutes as Sulley Muntari pounced on a rebound and put it pass Ricketts in Jamaica's goal. Ghana continued to pressure and doubled their lead on 19 minutes as Damion Stewart deflected a Stephen Appiah's shot into his own goal.
Jamaica rallied gamely in the second half and just before the hour mark Jason Euell pulled a goal back for the Boyz, scoring a rebound from a Shane Crawford free kick. Ghana took back their two-goal cushion with Appiah finding the net on 66 minutes and again two minutes later with Matthew Amoah scoring goal number 4. Ghana will face Italy, USA and Czech Republic in Group E at the World Cup finals. The Reggae Boyz will next play England on Saturday 3rd June, 2006 at Old Trafford, Manchester
