The Black Meteors of Ghana are through to the African U-23 Championship to be staged in Egypt later this year after beating Algeria 1-0.
The National U-23 skipper, Yaw Yeboah scored the only goal of the game played in Es Setif with a solo run just before the 70th minute mark to give Ghana a hard fought 2-1 aggregate.
Coach Ibrahim Tanko and his boys were handed a daunting task to go all out for a win in the return encounter after last weekend’s 1-1 draw in the first leg in Ghana.
The young foxes began the game strongly but Kwame Baah managed to keep Ghana in the game with some splendid saves.
An impressive performance by the Ghanaian defense ensured that the Black Meteors protected their goal advantage to progress to the U-23 Championship.
The Black Meteors will join host Egypt and other qualified countries at the tournament which will be staged between 5-22 November.
The winner of the tournament and two runner ups will automatically advance to represent Africa at the 2020 Olympics.
