“However after our efforts failed we decided to keep the instruments with them because we realized the match was a few minutes from kick off” Abraham Nkansah popularly called Apiurugu Chakapaama poured his frustrations to the Graphic Sports afterwards.
Unfortunately this could not deter the Ghanaian fans whose colourful costume together with their deafening cheers won the admiration of most of the 21,286 fans in the 56,000 capacity stadium.
The Ghanaians won the admiration of the Indian fans who joined in singing as the Indian fans stampeded to take selfies with the Ghanaian fans during the interval.
The international media were all over them after the game granting interviews and the India fans who wanted to get photo opportunity with the fans grew thicker by the minute.
Although they were only allowed to take the maracas, Nkansah described the development as unfair because the instruments formed part of their support and does not see why they will be prevented from using them on such an important game.
