On Thursday, the Black Stars clinched their 10th consecutive qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament with a hard-fought victory over the Central African Republic (CAR).
Ghana emerged victorious with a score of 2-1 at the Baba Yara Stadium, thanks to a late goal by the young forward Ernest Nuamah, who had recently joined the prestigious French club Lyon.
Nuamah’s debut goal played a pivotal role in securing Ghana’s spot in the upcoming prestigious tournament, scheduled to be hosted in Ivory Coast next year.
The match unfolded at the iconic Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi, where Ghana has maintained an undefeated streak since the year 2000.
