Jonathan Quartey's stunning finish gave Ghana's Ashanti Gold a crucial 1-0 away win against Renacimiento of Equatorial Guinea in the Champions League on Sunday.

Quartey volleyed home in the 55th minute to give the Obuasi side a victory in their first appearance in the tournament in ten years.

Ashgold, finalists in their last appearance in 1997, could have won the first-round, first-leg tie by a wider margin but striker Lamini Nasir failed to convert a spot kick just after the break.
