Ghanaians have taken to social media to react to Black Galaxies' 3-1 victory against Sudan at the Stade Chahid Hamlaoui on Thursday evening.
Some praised Black Galaxies' fighting spirit after going down in the 31st minute. Others named goalkeeper Danlad Ibrahim as man of the match because of his crucial saves.
In today's game, the Black Galaxies of Ghana in the first half battled the Sudanese who put pressure on the back four of Ghana in the first few minutes.
Sudan was first to score in the 31st minute through Al-Gozoli Nooh.
Three minutes to half time Ghana scored. A corner kick was headed down in the box for Konadu Yiadom to guide home.
After halftime, Ghana came out with a lot more energy than in the first half. Daniel Afriyie BArnieh was fouled in the box and the referee verified the decision from VAR. Daniel Afriyie Barnieh stepped up and sent the goalkeeper the wrong way.
The Black Galaxies put the ball into the net in the 81st minute but Afriyie was judged to be offside.
Goalscorer Daniel Afriyie Barnieh was sent off by the referee for a foul on a Sudanese player in 90+7 minute.
Ghana's third goal was scored by Seidu Suraj who came on in the 84th minute to replace Slyvester Simba.

Black Galaxies (local black Stars) will beat almost every team in this tournament but when our local teams, with same players (Kotoko, Hearts of Oak) meet their counterpart from another country, they find themselves wanting.@SaddickAdams
