Stars Humbled By Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia senior national side thrashed their Ghana counterparts 5-0 in a friendly international match at the King Fahad Stadium on Tuesday, SEPTEMBER 11th.
The AFC Asian Cup 2007 runners-up got their first goal in the fifth minute through Yasser Al-Qahtani, as a result of a defensive blunder by Captain Michael Essien.
Saud Kearairi scored the second goal in the 25 minute. Three second half goals - from Yasser Al-Qahtani and two penalties taken by Saad Al-harthi(57') and Redha Tukar Fallatah (92') added to Ghana's woes.
This Ghana's worst defeat since the infamous "Bochum Massacre", i.e. 6-1 defeat to Germany in the early 90s
Line up: Kingston, Painstil, Shilla, Dickoh, Hans Adu Sarpei; Laryea Kingston/Ayew, Anthony Annan, M. Essien, Eric Addo/Prince Tagoe, Sulley Muntari/Barusso, Mathew Amoah/Agogo
