Ghana have booked their place in the 2023 U23 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco following a 2-1 aggregate win over Algeria.

 

The Black Meteors defeated their North African opponents 1-0 at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Tuesday evening to qualify for the Mundial.

 

A first-half goal from Abdul Fatawu Issahaku was enough to give Ghana victory on aggregate, having drawn 1-1 with Algeria in the first leg in Annaba.

 

Ibrahim Tanko left nothing to chance by naming a strong line-up and made just one change from the team that started the first leg.

Danlad Ibrahim was in post and guarded in defense by Aaron Essel, Alex Sarfo Opoku, David Oppong Afriyie and Samuel Abbey-Ashie Quaye.

 

Dominic Nsobila, Emmanuel Essiem and Abass Samari Salifu manned the midfield, while Fatawu Issakau and Ernest Nuamah provided support for the returning Daniel Afruyie Barnieh up top.
