Winger Osman Bukari came off the bench to equalize for the Black Stars to ensure Ghana picked a draw against Angola on Matchday 4 of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers at the 11 Novembro stadium in Luanda.

The Group E leg 2 contest was a game difficult for the Black Stars from the blast of the whistle.

The Angolans piled pressure in the early stages of the game, looking to unsettle the Black Stars but the defence did a good job ensuring the game ended barren in the first half.

Angola took the lead through Lucas Joao’s 51st minute strike from a penalty spot after Daniel Amartey fouled Gelson inside the box.

Coach Hughton made two quick changes as he brought on Inaki Williams and Joseph Painstil for Kamaldeen Sulemana and Antoine Semenyo in the 60th minute.

The gaffer later introduced Osman Bukari and Majeed Ashimeru for Mohammed Kudus and Edmund Addo in the 71st minute – the changes yielded the needed dividend few seconds later as Bukari finished off a brilliant team move from Joseph Paintsil in the 72nd minute.

Ghana still remain top of the Standings with 8 points after four games.

They will next face Central African Republic and travel to Madagascar in the final two matches in Group E.
