The male national U23 team intensified their preparations for the upcoming Africa U-23 Cup of Nations in Egypt with test game against second-tier outfit Prampram Uncle T FC.
The Black Meteors of Ghana recoded a 3-0 massive victory over Uncle T FC at the Ghanaman Soccer Center of Excellence.
A brace from Godwin Bentil and a first half opener by Daniel Afriyie Barnieh were enough to down Dauda Lutterodt’s side in the chilly weather in Prampram.
Swiss-based striker Daniel Afriyie Barnieh opened the scoring for the Black Meteors after brilliantly converting a spot-kick awarded to his side in the 21st minute of the game.
The Meteors kept pressing high for the second goal but it was Uncle T FC who came closer to equalizing with a quick counter but Jordan Amissah was up to the task.
Godwin Bentil increased the tally for the Black Meteors with a simple tap-in after initiating a quick move from the right. He turned around his marker, teased the goalkeeper from the post to set up Afriyie Barnieh for a goal but Barnieh returned the ball for Bentil to tap in a simple one to give Ghana a 2-0 lead.
Bentil grabbed his second and the third for the Meteors five minutes after the break by connecting nicely to a pass from Samuel Ashie-Quaye who came in from the bench.
Moments after Bentil’s second strike, Afriyie Barnieh accurately put through Zuberu Ibrahim who could have made it four for the Meteors but delayed play to allow the opponents time to cover.
The Meteors are expected to fly out of Ghana early next week to start a training camp in Egypt to prepare for the U23 AFCON Tournament to be played in Morocco later this month.
