The Black Galaxies of Ghana are out of the 2022 CAF Championship of African Nations (CHAN) tournament being staged in Algeria.
The Ghana national team made up of home-based players on Saturday night locked horns with their counterpart from Niger in the quarter-finals of the tournament.
Unfortunately, Coach Annor Walker’s players could not impress despite seeing a lot of possession.
In a game that saw Ghana struggle to penetrate the defense of the opponent, Niger equalised after just 11 minutes into the first half.
It was after the Black Galaxies defenders failed to deal with a dangerous cross from the left side.
An attempted clearance from Ghana defender Konadu Yiadom, unfortunately, went into the net, leaving goalkeeper Danlad Ibrahim standing.
Later in the second half, Soumana Hainikoye found the back of the Ghana net again in the 48th minute with a curling effort that excited the fans in the stands.
Although the Black Galaxies of Ghana will push to get back into the game, the team failed to equalise and had to succumb to a 2-0 defeat at the end of the 90 minutes.
The result means Ghana is out of the 2022 CHAN tournament. Niger goes through to the semi-finals of the tournament in Morocco.
