Barnieh – Tipped to score again tomorrow
The Black Meteors of Ghana will be beaming with confidence and determined to produce a masterclass performance as they face off with Mozambique in the second leg of the TotalEnergies CAF U-23 championship qualifiers tomorrow at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
The Meteors go into the game with a huge advantage after their 2-1 win in the first leg encounter away at Mozambique last weekend.
Ghana’s sensational budding stars, took the game to their opponents and managed to secure a win, following a brace from Daniel Afriyie-Barnieh to head into tomorrow’s game as favourites.
The Meteors, who arrived in Accra on Tuesday had since moved to Kumasi where they camped and applied finishing touches to their game to completely see off their opponents tomorrow.
Coach Ibrahim Tanko and his charges were a delight to watch in their first encounter and would be determined to replicate their performance to secure back-to-back wins in their campaign.
Skipper Barnieh and Sylvester Simba who were a mouthful for the Mozambicans would also be geared up to make a tick in tomorrow’s game and ensure the Meteors smoothly sailed to the next round.
The Mozambicans, however, cannot be completed written off as they also possessed some attacking threats and would be looking forward to overturning the result in their favour.
They made a good case for themselves especially in the first half of the first leg encounter where they possessed the game and fired some shots on target, but were dealt with by Danlad Ibrahim.
Again, the Mozambicans also showed a good fighting spirit after pulling a goal back in the dying minutes of the game to keep their hopes high ahead of tomorrow’s game.
They would be hoping to continue from where they left off and certain to give their host a run for their money.
An early goal in their favour would be a huge boost which they would fancy as they would set out to frustrate and upset the Ghanaians to walk away with victory.
The aggregate winner of the encounter would face either DR Congo or Algeria in the third and final round of qualifiers set for March 2023.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
