The Black Satellites were held to a 1-1 draw by Nigeria’s Flying Eagles in the WAFU U-20 Championships ongoing in Prampram.
Captain Musibau Aziz put Ghana in the lead in the first half but Abdullahi Mohammed’s 82nd minute header ensured that the Nigerians went home with a point.
The WAFU U-20 Championships serves as qualifiers for the next Africa U-20 Cup of Nations.
But the Black Satellites, who missed the upcoming FIFA U-20 World Cup at the 2025 U-20 AFCON, will have their work cut out as they face Benin in the next and final game on Wednesday.
Ghana missed the trophy the last time after going 1-2 down to Nigeria in the final in Togo.
They had won the first edition and are poised to add this year’s on home soil.
Aziz was named Man of the Match on Thursday, July 10.
