Live: Ghana's last guinea pig at Afcon2019 underway

Ghana’s last shot at qualification at Afcon 2019 in Egypt is underway. The Black Stars face Guinea-Bissau. Anything less than a win for the Black Stars could be F for fail in Group F.

                                                             ===============================

26mins: Poor Partey freekick. Bereft of energy, confidence and technique, the weak shot cum cross some yards away from the penalty box is expelled by GNB busy bodies.

22mins: Joseph Aidoo picks a yellow card for late tackle on a sprinting Mendes deep inside the left. GNB is set up to counterattack after soaking in enough of the eager Black Stars players.

17mins: GNB attacker Piqueti unleashes the best shot so far, canoning off the cross bar. Ferocious! Slightly elevated by the fingers of goalkeeper to hit the cross bar. It is actually GNB who has tested Ghana more despite seeing it less.

16mins: Baba Rahaman cross from the left is delightful but for the lack of contact to the intended target Andre Ayew. GNB goalkeeper leaps to grab it.

14mins: GNB attacker Mama Blade goes solo and opts for the ground inside the penalty box when a little show of enterprising footwork could have led to a suprise.

An animated Black Stars appear fully seized of this game’s demands. But despite spending lots of time in the scoring-half of the pitch, here has been no shot on target after 12minutes. Several heavily weighted crosses that miss the intended player or simply blocked passes in the final third.
