Afriyie Barnieh opened the scoring for Ghana in the 25th minute before his club teammate Mohammed Alhassan doubled their advantage four minutes.
Alhassan smashed a rebound into the bottom right corner after the visitors failed to deal with a corner kick.
Benin goalkeeper Serge Obassa made a great save to deny Ghana a third goal as Osei-Wusu’s effort from close range was parried away for a corner kick.
After the recess, skipper Awako put the icing on the cake after he curled a lovely ball into the roof of the net for the third goal of the day.
The Black Galaxies kept a larger part of the ball to confuse their opponents as Annor Walkers’ men held on to win the 1st leg 3-0 in Ghana.
The 2nd leg of the fixture is scheduled for Saturday, July 30, 2022 in Porto-Novo.
