The Black Satellites of Ghana secured a 2-0 victory over Niger in their second group match at the WAFU U-20 Zone B tournament, thanks to a brace from forward Aziz Musibau on Sunday afternoon in Togo, Kennedy Ugbodaga is reporting for platinumnewsng.com.
After drawing 2-2 with Benin in their opening game, where Jerry Afriyie netted a late equalizer, Ghana entered this match determined to claim their first win. Both sides struggled to find the net in the first half, but Ghana stepped up their performance after the break.
Musibau broke the deadlock just after the hour mark with a powerful long-range strike that slipped past the Niger goalkeeper. He then doubled the lead in the 73rd minute with a close-range finish, ensuring Ghana took all three points.
With this victory, Ghana now has four points and is well-positioned to progress to the semi final.
