Black Galaxies

Ghana’s Black Galaxies brushed aside Nigeria 2-0 in leg 1 and final round of qualifiers for the 2023 TotalEnergies African Nations Championship at the Cape Coast Stadium, Sunday.

Ghana set up the Nigeria clash after outsmarting Benin in the first round.

Goals from big game gem Afriyie Barnieh and Seidu Suraj in the second half enabled the lads to take 1st leg advantage. The first half ended barren.

The return fixture will be played at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja next Saturday, with the aggregate winner in both legs of the second round of matches, qualifying for the 2023 TotalEnergies African Nations Championship, which will run from Sunday January 8, 2023, to Tuesday January 31, 2023.

Ghana are two-time silver medalist after reaching the final in the maiden edition in 2009 and in 2014.
