Published on: 15 June 2023

The Ghana U23 team, the Black Meteors put on a strong showing on Thursday during a friendly match with the Egypt U23 team.

The two national teams locked horns at the Alexandria Stadium in an international friendly match ahead of the 2023 CAF U23 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.

In today’s friendly, Ghana had a bright start and took the lead after 10 minutes when captain Daniel Afriyie Barnieh found the back of the net.

Before the break, however, the hosts managed to do enough to restore parity to the game.

A strike from Ibrahim Adel made it 1-1 in the 28th minute as the two teams went into the break on level-pegging.

Although both national teams will put on a good performance in the second half, neither side could score and had to settle for a 1-1 draw at the end of the 90 minutes.

Ghana is expected to play a second friendly while in Egypt before travelling to Morocco next week for the U23 AFCON.
