The Black Galaxies of Ghana have taken a giant step in their bid to qualify for the 2023 Championship of African Nations [CHAN] qualifiers with an impressive win against Nigeria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Second-half goals from Hearts of Oak duo Daniel Afriyie Barnieh and Suraj Seidu sealed their win for Annor Walker and his charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the first leg of the final round of qualifiers at the Cape Coast Stadium, the Galaxies started the game on a good note despite the threat by their rivals in the opening minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Super Eagles B came close to scoring on the 21st minute, after Baba Tunde\u2019s long corner kick delivery fell on the head of Adamu Abubakar at the far post but the direction was poor as it went out for a restart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A quick response from the homesters as Dennis Korsah picked up Suraj Seidu in the box with a decent ball from the left but the formal was penalized for controlling with his hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
David Abagna subbed on for Evans Osei-Wusu, came in on a higher note as his first touch of the ball nearly gave Ghana the lead in the 40th minute but his header from Awako\u2019s free-kick landed on the roof of the post with the game ending goalless in the first half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the second half, the Black Galaxies started on an explosive note and came in strongly on their opponents which resulted in a penalty for the host after the ball went off the hand of a Nigerian defender in the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
