Black Stars suffer World Cup qualifying blow after Congo draw

The Black Stars’ hopes of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup were dealt a serious blow on Friday after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Congo in Kumasi.

A mistake by Joseph Attamah Larweh in the first half was capitalised by the Congolese, who took the lead through Thievy Bifouma.

The Black Stars found an equaliser after Thomas Partey stroked the ball home from Christian Atsu’s pass.

The result leaves the Black Stars in third place in their group, five points off Uganda at the top with three games left to play.

Having failed to get a win in the first two games of their World Cup Qualifying campaign, the Black Stars faced a huge task make it to Russia 2018.

However, a win for Uganda at home to Egypt on Thursday has thrown the group wide open for the other teams in the group.
