Ghana exited the ongoing TotalEnergies African Cup of Nations U23 Championship after a 1-1 draw against Guinea in the final Group A game.
Emmanuel Yeboah’s first half strike was not enough to secure a qualification after the Guineans responded in the second half to end the game 1-1.
The Black Meteors needed a win to book a place in the next stage of the competition having beating Congo 3-2 in the first game and lost 5-1 against host, Morocco.
