When Brazil defeated Ghana 8-2 in a friendly match in 1997

Brazil and Ghana have met four times with the Little Canary (as the Brazil team is nicknamed)  winning all four clashes.

Their first ever meeting was in a friendly in 1996 with Brazil parading players such as Rivaldo, Dida, Aldair, Juninho in a thumping 8-2 win against 10-man Ghana who had Emmanuel Osei Kuffour sent off.

In the Black Stars lineup back then were current Black Stars goalkeepers trainer Richard Kingston, Tony Yeboah who scored one of Ghana's goals, Samuel Osei Kuffour, Emmanuel Duah, Daniel Addo and Nii Lamptey.

Their next meeting was during Ghana's first appearance at the World Cup in 2006 at the Round of 16 stage which Brazil won 3-0.

The scoreline has been much closer in recent meetings with friendlies in March 27, 2007, and September 5, 2011, all ending 1-0 in favour of the South Americans.
