The Black Meteors of Ghana have been evicted from ongoing Africa U-23 Cup of Nations after playing out a 1-1 stalemate with Guinea in their final group game at the Grande Stade of Tangier.
Both teams started the game in a very cautious manner hoping to figure out the approach of each other before any incursions.
The Guineans with their first dangerous effort on the 25th minute but captain Fofana struck wide for a restart.
Ghana with a reply six minutes after, Samuel Ashie Quaye sent a teasing cross from the right but Emmanuel Yeboah's cross missed the target by an inch.
Ghana finally snatched the opener on the 33rd minute through Emmanuel Yeboah after a beautiful combination with Abdul Fatawu Issahaku. His third of the competition.
In the second half, Guinea's return was really explosive with some two dangerous opportunities from dead balls but all proved futile.
On the 61st minute, the Syli Nationale got the leveller through skipper Ibrahima Fofana who scored with a strong hit from a loose clearance. Just what they have been hunting for.
On the 77th minute, Ghana with a chance, Emmanuel Essiam made a blistering run to set up Ernest Nuamah in the box but his curler was stopped by goalkeeper Mory Keita.
It ended 1-1 after full time. Guinea has joined Morocco to qualify from Group A whiles Ghana painfully exit the competition.
