Ghana rallied from 2-0 down for a 4-2 win over Tunisia in their African Cup of Nations warm-up Sunday in Abu Dhabi.

The Black Stars came back from two goals by Issam Jemaa, scoring four times in the second half for their second confidence-boosting win following a 3-0 victory over Egypt last week.

Jemaa pounced on mistakes from Ghana's defense to score in the 16th and then just after halftime for 2-0.

Defender John Boye, Mubarak Wakaso, captain Asamoah Gyan and Albert Adomah all replied after the break for Ghana to turn the game on its head.
