2022 CHANQ: Ghana Defeat Home-Based Eagles 2-0 In First Leg Tie

The home-based Super Eagles have it all to do after they succumbed to a 2-0 defeat to the Black Galaxies of Ghana, in the first leg of the 2022 CHAN final qualifying round on Sunday, Completesports.com reports.

The game which was played inside the Cape Coast stadium, Accra, saw Afriyie Barnieh and Suraj Seidu getting the goals for the Black Galaxies.

After a goalless first half it was the Black Galaxies who broke the deadlock on 49 minutes from the spot, thanks to Barnieh who calmly sent the home-based Eagles the wrong way.

Barnieh scored one of the goals in the 3-0 first leg win against Benin Republic in the previous qualifying round.
