Austria’s forward #09 Marcel Sabitzer (2nd R) kicks the ball to score on penaltyAustria captain Marcel Sabitzer insists Ghana’s Black Stars were negative in their approach during their international friendly on Friday in Vienna.Ghana suffered a 5-1 hammering at the hands of the Europeans, with the Borussia Dortmund midfielder starring with a goal and a brace of assists.Sabitzer admitted the first half was not good enough from his side, but after the Black Stars opened up, they took their chances.”The first half wasn’t particularly exciting, but we played solidly. We had some good scoring opportunities, played well from back to front, controlled the game, and they were a bit passive,” he said after the game. Despite stating Ghana were passive, he also acknowledged the quality of the Black Stars while praising his teammates.”We scored even more goals towards the end, and when you win 5-1, and Ghana isn’t just any team, we’re satisfied and proud. It’s very important to start like this; there were 40,000 fans here, so we have a responsibility to play good football,” added Sabitzer.The Black Stars have arrived in Stuttgart ahead of their game against Germany on Monday.
