The Black Satellites of Ghana have been held to a goalless stalemate against Congo at the Accra Sports Stadium in their opener of the 2023 African Games.

Despite a promising start, Desmond Ofei’s squad failed to capitalize on numerous opportunities, leaving them unable to secure a victory in Group A.

Ghana’s U-20 side dominated possession, effectively keeping their Congolese opponents at bay.

At halftime, both teams had not scored.

In the second half, Ghana continued their offensive efforts, even having a goal disallowed for offside. However, they were unable to find the back of the net.

The match concluded in a 0-0 draw, with each team earning a point.

In the other Group A fixture, The Gambia will face Benin with three points up for grabs.

Ghana’s upcoming match is scheduled against Gambia on March 12.
