The Baba Yara Stadium was filled with cheers as Antoine Semenyo scored a last-minute goal to give Ghana a 1-0 win over Angola at the AFCON 2023Q tournament. Bournemouth’s forward was the hero of the day, hitting a rebound after a late free-kick to secure the victory for the Black Stars.
Chris Hughton’s side, who took seven points from three games, now tops Group E, leaving Angola and Central African Republic both tied on four points each. The game had many chances, but it was Semenyo’s goal that stole the show.
Ghana’s Mohammed Kudus had several opportunities to score but missed the mark, while Angola’s goalkeeper, Neblu, saved his team from conceding. The Palancas Negras had to make an early substitution when Show was taken off due to an injury.
Despite dominating possession in the first half, the Black Stars couldn’t find the back of the net. The second half saw them struggle as well, but Semenyo’s heroics saved the day. The team will now prepare for their next fixture against Angola on Monday, March 27th.
Exciting times lie ahead for Ghana as they aim for glory at AFCON 2023Q. Keep cheering on the Black Stars!
