In the face of a tough challenge, the Ghana U20 national team was unable to overcome Burkina Faso U20 in their match on Monday afternoon at the 2023 WAFU Zone B U20 Cup of Nations tournament.
At the conclusion of the Group A match, Burkina Faso emerged victorious with a 2-0 win, securing all three points.
The Ghana U20 team, known as the Black Satellites, desperately needed a victory today to enhance their chances of advancing to the knockout stage of the tournament. This urgency stemmed from their previous 1-1 draw against Niger, where they conceded a late goal.
Following today's defeat, Ghana must now regroup and strive to defeat the host nation, Ivory Coast, in their final group game.
The crucial match between Ghana and Ivory Coast is scheduled to take place on Thursday, July 13.
To secure a place in the knockout stage of the WAFU Zone B U20 Cup of Nations tournament, the Black Satellites must achieve nothing short of a victory.
