ACCRA, Jan 21: Sulley Muntari struck a wonder goal in the final minute to give hosts Ghana a 2-1 win over Guinea in the opening match of the African Nations Cup on Sunday.

Ghana hit the woodwork three times, took the lead 10 minutes into the second half but in then end had to rely on a 25-metre bullet from Muntari to grab all three points at the Ohene Djan stadium.

The home side, whose best efforts came in the first half, held their lead for just 10 minutes before Guinea scored an equaliser and then threatened to spoil the home party in the final stages.

But Muntari delivered a goal following a forceful run just when the 45,000-sellout crowd seemed to be settling for a disappointing draw.
