FIFA WC Qualifier: Ghana 0-0 Uganda
The Black Stars of Ghana failed to score against
the Cranes of Uganda in the 2018 World Cup
qualifier on Friday at the Tamale Sports Stadium.

Despite the Black Stars playing at home the game
was balanced till the first half ended goalless
with the two sides maintaining their starting
line-ups.

After recess the pendulum kept on swinging from
left to right with the host gaining more
possession than the guest.

Coach Avram Grant wanting to change his game
quickly introduced midfielder Agyemang Badu for
injured Afriyie Acquah with the pressure tilting
towards the Cranes.

In the last fifteen minutes of play chances upon
chances came the way of the Black Stars but all
were wasted with the Ugandan’s custodian Onyango
preventing any goal in his post.

With ten minutes to end the game Ghana introduced
another striker in the person of Majeed Warris for
Christian Atsu with the tempo of the game changing
but the scoreline never changed.

Captain Asamoah Gyan got a free kick in the last
three minute of play but failed to bury it ending
the game on a goalless note with both teams
splitting the points.
