Ghana managed to battle their Algerian counterparts to a goalless draw in the 2019 Africa U20 Cup of Nations second qualifying round first leg tie in Algiers on Friday night.

Ghana created some opportunities but the likes of Basit Abdul Rahman and Danso couldn’t find the back of the net.

Gideon Mensah also did so well to prevent the hosts from scoring when he blocked the ball in the 35th minute.

In all it was a good game for the Black Satellites who will host the Algerians in Ghana in the second leg in their quest to progress to the next stage of the qualifiers.
