AFCON 2019 live: Ghana 0 - 0 Tunisia

Ghana’s Black Stars are hoping to hand a defeat to the Carthage Eagles of Tunisia, to advance to the quarterfinal stage of the AFCON 2019.

A win against the Tunisians will keep alive, the dream to end the country’s 37-year-wait since it last won the AFCON.

Tunisia comes into tonight’s game with three successive draws at the group stage while Black Stars, on the other hand, amassed five points from the preliminary matches to top Group F.

Winner of the tie will book a quarterfinal clash with tournament debutants, Madagascar, who defeated D.R Congo 4-2 on penalties on Saturday.

Both teams have been tactical with their play so far and have come close to opening the scorelines at the Ismailia stadium. It is their 8^th AFCON meeting.

15’: Nuhu Kassim rises above the Tunisian defence to connect a corner with his head but that effort saw the ball hitting the post. Another response from captain Andre Ayew was saved by the goalkeeper. It’s still barren.

11’: Referee flashes yellow card to two players- John Boye and a Tunisian player- for separate offences.

06': Richard Ofori again runs to pick up the ball from a surging Khennisi. 

01': Tunisians make an early attempt to score but goalkeeper Richard Ofori was at hand to pick the with little efforts.

Coach Kwasi Appiah did not hide his emotions when the Ghana National Anthem was played. So was his captain Andre Ayew.
