U-20 AFCON: Black Satellites suffer defeat in second group game

Ghana suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Senegal in their second group game of the ongoing 2019 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations tournament on Wednesday.

The Black Satellites were seeking a second straight win to become the first team to reach the semi-finals but that backfired as Senegal put up a brave performance to claim the convincing win at Maradi Stadium.

Aliou Badji scored all two goals for the Young Lions of Teranga. The striker opened the scoring with a fine header in the 11th minute.

He doubled the lead on the stroke of half time when he fired past hapless Ghana goalkeeper Manaf Nurudeen.
