Ghana’s U-20 side earned a vital 2-0 victory over Niger in their second group match of the WAFU Zone B U-20 Championship, with both goals coming from Aziz Musibau. His second-half brace secured all three points, putting Ghana in a strong position to advance in the tournament.
The match began with both sides cautiously feeling each other out. Ghana had more of the ball but struggled to break down Niger’s organized defense in the first half. Despite some half-chances, neither team could find a breakthrough, and the game remained goalless heading into halftime.
The game came to life in the second half when Ghana stepped up their attacking play. The pressure finally paid off in the 65th minute as Aziz Musibau opened the scoring. His well-timed run allowed him to finish off a swift move, giving Ghana the lead.
Just seven minutes later, in the 72nd minute, Musibau struck again, doubling Ghana’s advantage with another clinical finish after a defensive lapse from Niger. The second goal gave Ghana full control of the match, while Niger struggled to create any meaningful opportunities to fight back.
Ghana comfortably saw out the remaining minutes, securing the win and all three points. Musibau’s performance was the standout, his goals proving to be the decisive factor in the match.
