Meteors, Queens for All Africa Games

Ghana's Under-23  team, the Black Meteors, yesterday sealed their qualification with a 2-0 victory over their Mozambican counterparts, the Mamabas, at the Tamale Stadium  in their return leg encounter to qualify for this year's All African Games to be held in Congo Brazzaville.

In Harare, Ghana’s Black Queens also secured their qualification with a 2-2 draw with Zimbabwe yesterday.

The Queens won the first leg 2-1 in Accra with goals from Agnes Aduako and Samira Suleiman and yesterday’s result in Harare meant the Ghanaians qualify for the Brazzaville Games on a 4-3 aggregate.

An own goal by Salomao Mondline and a spectacular one by Bright Adjei in the 61st and 82nd minutes respectively won the day for Ghana  after losing by a lone goal in Maputo a forthnight ago.

The Meteors failed to find their rhythm in the first 25 minutes of the game, but after recess, Coach Malik Jabir made some changes which altered the game with Ghana taking over the midfield which resulted in the own goal by Mondline.
