The Black Stars have settled for another draw against the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon on Saturday in their second Group F clash in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Ghana were held to a two all draw against Benin on Tuesday in their opening Group F game to create doubts about the title credentials of the four times champions of Africa.
Ghana took control of the game in the early minutes and created some goal-scoring opportunities, but the likes of Kassim Nuhu, Christian Atsu fluffed them.
Cameroon warmed themselves up into the game and also had their own turn of the possession from after the first 15 minutes.
In the process, Nje and Bassagog threatened Ghana’s goal area and they called Richard Ofori to duty on several occasions but he stood to the test.
In one of the chances that fell the way of Cameroon, Baba Rahman lost the ball and Bassagog capitalised on that to create space and gave it to Nje before he collected it back. He then struck the ball, but Richard Ofori made a sensational save to deny him.
Nje also came close to scoring but Jonathan Mensah head had a touch on the ball to prevent the Cameroonian from getting a full touch of the ball.
Cameroon afterwards continued to dominate lay for about 15 minutes, pilling pressure on Ghana.
Kwabena Owusu brought some new energy into the play of the Black Stars.
And shortly after his introduction, he was gifted a ball. Owusu took the ball the Cameroonians created space and shot it at goal, but `unfortunately, he was denied by the woodwork.
Ghana seized control of the game and it appeared Kwesi Appiah’s decision to bring on Asamoah Gyan and Kwabena Owusu improved the play of Ghana. The Black Stars controlled the game and created opportunities in the last 10 minutes of play.
