The Black Satellites’ run to the U-20 World Cup title in 2009 was far from straightforward.

A topsy-turvy tournament saw the team have to come from behind, cope with 10 men and survive a penalty-shootout.

There were lots of cameras to capture the scenes in each of the games and we’ve put a few of them together in this piece.

GROUP STAGES

Ghana 2-1 Uzbekistan

Ghana’s first group game against Uzbekistan was a tight one, that the Satellites edged in the end.

They went behind to Karimov’s early second-half strike but goals from Ransford Osei and Dominic Adiyiah in the last 30 minutes gave them a winning start.
