Ghana will head into Tuesday's international friendly against Malawi full of confidence after thumping a local side 8-0 in a practice match on Sunday.

The Black Stars were five-nil up before half time against local third division side Chimungwe FC with Ghana getting the three other goals after the break as Milovan Rajevac watched his side from the stands.

Ransford Osei scored twice with his strike partner at the Under-20 level Dominic Adiyiah contributing another. Opoku Agyemang and Rahim Ayew scored the other goals.

Changes were made to the team that started the first half as Asamoah Gyan scored twice in that period with Dede Ayew also finding target.

The Black Stars' game against Malawi's Flames in Swaziland will be the final test for the team as Ghana head into the African Cup of Nations in Angola which begins January 10.
