The Black Galaxies of Ghana have qualified for the Africa Nations Championship (CHAN) scheduled for Algeria next year.
For the second time in a matter of months, Ghana prevented Nigeria from qualifying for two major tournaments.
Ghana had to seal qualification via penalty kicks after Nigeria came back from the two goal deficit in the first leg, the Home Eagles needed to recover from a 2-0 deficit in the first leg last weekend in Cape Coast.
The Super Eagles B, comprising of home based players, put up a resilient show at the Moshood Abiola Stadium with goals from Zulkifilu Mohammed in the 76th minute and Chijioke Akuneto in the 94th minute sending the game into penalty shootout.
The game went straight to penalties, and while Ghana scored all five, Maurice Ugochukwu missed his penalty; sending the Home-Eagles out of the CHAN 2023 tournament, which will be held in Algeria.
