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.

Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has announced that the government has accepted the recommendation to abolish the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment as part of the constitutional review process.
He said the proposed amendment would affect Articles 3, 13, 19 and 72 of the 1992 Constitution, with offences that previously attracted the death penalty instead carrying life imprisonment.
Dr. Ayine made the announcement on July 30, 2026, at the Jubilee House in Accra during the Government Accountability Series while outlining the government’s position on the final recommendations of the Constitution Review Committee.
According to him, the government believes the death penalty is inconsistent with the constitutional right to life and Ghana’s international human rights obligations.
He explained that the recommendation forms part of broader proposals aimed at strengthening the protection of fundamental human rights under the Constitution.
Dr. Ayine said the government had also accepted the spirit of several recommendations to expand rights relating to women, children, persons with disabilities, older persons and the youth.
He added that a comprehensive Human Rights Act would be introduced to protect these rights and provide detailed enforcement mechanisms instead of amending the entrenched provisions of the Constitution through a national referendum.
