The Black Stars team 'B' on Thursday settled for a one all draw against their Beninoire counterparts on Thursday.

Ghana were held to a 1-1 draw by Benin in their friendly clash on Thursday at the Ohene Djan Sports Stadium, Accra.

Ibrahim capitalised on a goalkeeping mistake from Richard Ofori to register Benin the lead.

Ghana threw more bodies up front in search of the equaliser, but the defence of Benin was resilient and they managed to coil the threats of the Ghanaians.

Patrick Razak was however, brought down in the 18-yard box in the closing minutes of the first half and Ghana were awarded a penalty. Awal Mohammed who stepped forward for the kick threw the goalie to the wrong direction to give Ghana the much anticipated equaliser while playing in front of their home fans.
