Ghana 1 - 0 Namibia
African Nations Cup 2008 group stage · 2008-01-24 Referee: Kacem Bennaceur

Harmless

and the referee?

Well he seemed a bit in favor of Ghana for a while, which irritated the Namibians. He booked one player of each team where he should have booked two other players instead. Also one from each team.
Bennaceur seems like a referee who prefers to stand away from things, to not to follow every movement and leave the little things to his assistants. But that is not necessarily a bad thing.

match

The first half was okay, the second half wa boring. The Ghanese style is best symbolized by their winger Owusu (or Quincy, who used to play for the Dutch national team, albeit under 20): fast, agile, but harmless. Namibia, by the way, tried their best to score, they got their chances, but they just aren't good enough.
