The giants of Pan-Africanism clash  
A Sulley Muntari stunner goal gave hosts Ghana a 2-1 victory in Group A over Guinea in the opening game of the African Nations Cup at the Ohene Djan stadium on Sunday.  Asamoah Gyan had put the Black Stars ahead 10 minutes into the second half by converting a penalty after Junior Agogo was brought down in the area by Oumar Kalabane.But the Guinea defender made amends 10 minutes later when his header from a corner struck the crossbar and went in off keeper Richard Kingston.Then just as it looked as though the hosts would have to settle for a share of the points up popped Muntari with a long-range, left footed, angled shot to send the capacity crowd at the 44 000 Ohene Djan Stadium wild.The sides were all square after the first half, but the Guinéens showed the vulnerabilities of LeRoy’s choice picks.
