History
Brazil and Ghana have clashed four times, with the Little Canary (as the Brazil team is nicknamed) winning all.
Their first ever meeting was a friendly in 1996, with Brazil parading stars such as Rivaldo, Dida, Aldair, Juninho to thump a 10-man Ghana side 8-2 after Emmanuel Osei Kuffour was sent off.
Featuring for the Black Stars on that occasion included Black Stars goalkeepers' trainer, Richard Kingson, Tony Yeboah, who scored one of Ghana's goals, Samuel Osei Kuffour, Emmanuel Duah, Daniel Addo and Nii Lamptey.
Their second meeting was during Ghana's first appearance at the Germany 2006 World Cup Round of 16 stage which Brazil won 3-0.
However, the margin was much closer in similar friendlies in March 27, 2007 and September 5, 2011, both of which ended 1-0 in favour of the South Americans.
