Algiers, July 16, GNA- The Black Meteors played their third
group match at the 9th All Africa Games on Monday and gained
their first point in the competitionwith a 1-1 draw against
leaders, Tunisia.
The result however was of no relevance to Ghana's continued
participation in the competition as they remained glued to
the bottom of the table and eliminated automatically.
With nothing to gain, win or lose, the Ghanaians went behind
after 20 minutes when Ben Amar Karim beatmgoalkeeper Eric Ni
Baah from the box.
Ghana reacted swiftly and levelled up three minutes later
through Emmanuel Allan.
In the second half, the Tunisians had the game under control
but over elaboration failed to give them any real chance to
increase the tally.
Coach Jones Cecil Attuaquayefio said he came into the
competition with a depleted team as most of his players had
deserted the team to respond to foreign duties.
He said in the absence of the foreign segment, he invited
many home-based players who also failed to make the trip,
while there was not enough time to rebuild before the Games.
