In the ongoing 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying match, Ghanaian defender Alidu Seidu has scored Ghana’s first goal of the campaign.
The Stade Rennais player netted in the 44th minute, taking advantage of a precise assist from Mohammed Kudus.
Ghana had struggled to break through Niger’s defensive setup throughout the first half, but Seidu’s powerful strike just before halftime provided the breakthrough the Black Stars needed.
The match is being held at the Municipal Stadium in Berkane, with Ghana aiming for redemption following their 1-0 defeat to Angola in their Group F opener at Baba Yara Stadium last Thursday.
As the second half begins, Ghana is determined to build on their lead and secure their first victory in the qualifiers.
The game remains intense, with Niger working hard to regain their footing and challenge Ghana’s advantage.
