Photos: Black Meteors arrive in Ghana after last night’s draw against Algeria

After their 1-1 draw against Algeria in the first leg of their CAF U-23 AFCON qualifier played in Annaba on Friday, the Black Meteors have returned to Ghana. The team immediately departed Annaba and is en route to Kumasi, where they will play the return leg.

In the match, Ghana took the lead in the 85th minute after Issahaku Abdul Fatawu scored a brilliant goal from behind the centre, capitalizing on the Algerian goalkeeper’s position. However, the hosts managed to equalize minutes after the 90th minute mark, after the referee awarded them a second penalty, which they converted.

The result gives Ghana a slight advantage as a win in the return leg at the Baba Yara Stadium will put them through to the CAF U23 AFCON, which will be staged in Morocco from June 24 to July 8, 2023. The top three teams from the tournament will qualify for the men’s football tournament at the Summer Olympics, which will be held in Paris next year.
