A 1-1 draw against South Africa at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg on Thursday, March 25, 2021, ensured that Ghana secured qualification to the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations.

Mohammed Kudus shot Ghana in the lead but it was short-lived as Percy Tau drew parity two minutes later with a low drive past Razak Abalora, Ghana’s second choice goalie.

The overall performance left much to be desired with Akonnor’s side struggling to put coherent passes together in the opening forty-five minutes.

The second-half saw an improved performance with Ghana enjoying some possession that resulted in Mohammed’s Kudus’ goal.
