In an ongoing 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match, Ghanaian defender Alidu Seidu scored Ghana's first goal of the campaign.
The Stade Rennais defender found the back of the net in the 44th minute, capitalizing on a precise assist from Mohammed Kudus.
Ghana, struggling to penetrate Niger's defensive setup throughout the first half, finally broke through with Seidu's thunderous strike just before halftime.
The match, being played at the Municipal Stadium in Berkane, sees Ghana looking for redemption after a 1-0 defeat to Angola in their Group F opener at the Baba Yara Stadium on last Thursday. A win today would be crucial for the Black Stars' hopes of progressing in the tournament.
As the second half gets underway, all eyes are on Seidu and his teammates to maintain their advantage and secure their first victory in the qualifiers. The game remains tense, with Niger fighting to get back into contention.
