Ghana draw with Ivorians: Lesotho Stun Egypt

The all-West African clash at the Sasol Eight Nations tournament between Ghana and Ivory Coast ends up in a draw.

The Black Satellites were held to a goalless draw by the Ivorians at the Meadowlands Stadium in Soweto on Friday.

Ghana, who went top of Group B after a convincing 3-1 win over Lesotho on Wednesday were denied from finding the back of the net this time round as the Ivorians matched the Black Satellites and cleared their lines well.

A win could have sealed for Ghana a semi-final place but the national under-20 team would need to wait till their last group game on Sunday which is against the young Pharaohs of Egypt.

Lesotho beat Egypt 1-0 in a hard-fought exciting Sasol Eight Nations Group B clash at the Eldorado Park Stadium on Friday.
