Ghana will play as host to Algeria at the Baba Yara Stadium on Tuesday, March 28, in the second leg of the final round of 2023 Africa U-23 Cup of Nations qualifiers
Both teams look really desperate heading into this game with the mindset of grabbing a spot in the next Championship billed for Morocco later this year and subsequently hope for a spot to the next Olympic Games in Paris (2024).
Ghana's abeyance to the Olympics is almost nineteen years now and this set of dedicated lads are willing to play their hearts out this time in a quest to end the country's long-standing disheartening hoodoo.
The Meteors are known for always smitten around with their Algerian counterparts whom they axed out four years ago in the playoffs to secure a spot in the last edition which was staged in Egypt.
The Black Stars feeder team were really impressive in Annaba last week after holding Algeria to a 1-1 stalemate in the first leg, giving them a slight edge approaching the return encounter.
Abdul Fatawu Issahaku scored a puskas-like goal on the 85th minute after goalkeeper Danlad Ibrahim had already stopped a penalty eight minutes prior.
However, the Warriors equalised subsequently from another spot-kick which was this time converted by Bekkouche Chemseddine in additional time to salvage a draw.
TEAM NEWS
Both teams have no any major misses from the first leg and will parade their arsenals against each other this afternoon.
