Ghana beat Ivory Coast 3-1 on Sunday in the 2017 African Junior Championship final qualifying first leg tie.

Captain Eric Eyiah opened the scoring as Paa Kwesi Fabin’s side went into the break with a two-zero lead.

But the away goal could prove crucial for Les Eléphanteaux who will host the Black Starlets in the return leg in a fortnight.

Ghana are bent on qualifying to the finals in Madagascar next year after being disqualified for fielding an over-aged player against Cameroon in the qualifiers.
