This angle shows Ernest Nuamah’s winner against CAR was not offside (video)

A clearer footage from the game between Ghana and the Central African Republic (CAR) shows that Ernest Nuamah’s winning goal was not offside.

The 19-year-old scored late in the game as Ghana came from behind to record a 2-1 victory over the Wild Beasts in Kumasi.

Having come off the bench in the second half, he sealed Ghana’s place in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) by netting the winner.

Mohammed Kudus had earlier on cancelled out Louis Mafouta’s opening goal, which came after just 25 minutes.

Nuamah, however, appeared to have been in an offside position when he was set up by Antoine Semenyo to score the winning goal.

In the aftermath of the game, CAR coach Raoul Savoy suggested the referees aided Ghana by awarding an offside goal.

However, a clearer footage of the goal shows Nuamah was not offside when he received the pass from Antoine Semenyo before tapping the ball home.

The Lyon teenager timed his run perfectly and was played onside by the CAR’s last defender in the buildup to the goal.
