The Black Satellites of Ghana commenced their campaign in the 2023 African Games with a goalless stalemate on Friday, March 8th, held at the Accra Sports Stadium against Congo, marking a tentative start for Desmond Ofei's squad in Group A.
Despite exhibiting promising early momentum and creating several notable scoring opportunities, the Satellites failed to capitalise on their chances, resulting in an inability to secure a victory.
Throughout the encounter, Ghana maintained dominion, effectively containing their Congolese counterparts. However, both teams entered halftime with the scoreboard remaining unchanged.
The second half witnessed Ghana's continued offensive efforts in pursuit of a breakthrough. Despite a disallowed goal due to offside, the team's endeavours fell short of materialising into a decisive lead.
Ultimately, the match concluded in a goalless draw, with each team earning a solitary point after the regulation period.
In the upcoming fixture, Ghana is scheduled to face Gambia on March 12th, aiming to rebound from the opening result and secure a more favourable outcome.
