Ghana’s U-15 talented letf winger John Andor dominanted the headlines on the opening day of the third edition of the CAF African Schools Football Championship with a brace for host nation.
Ghana U-15 boys opened their campaign with a commanding 2-0 victory over Uganda U-15 boys to kickstart their campaign on a perfect note.
The Black Cormets were dominant on their debut at the University of Ghana Stadium on Wednesday.
Ghana’s left winger netted in both halves, securing all three points for Ghana against Uganda at the University of Ghana Stadium.
Andor broke the deadlock early, scoring within three minutes with a solo effort, finishing at the near post. Ghana dictated the game’s pace, remained composed, and headed into halftime with a 1-0 lead.
Immediately after the break, Ghana nearly extended their advantage but they failed after a numerous attempts on goal.
Ghana’s perseverance to increase their advantage paid off shortly after, and this time the goalkeeper, who’d been outstanding throughout, couldn’t stop the team, as Andor scored from a rebound following Rockson Adjei’s initial attempt from the corner.
It was Andor’s second of the game, making him the first player to hit a brace in the competition.
“The game was hard but we were able to play and we are grateful. The opponents were good but we did what the coach asked us to do”- said John Andoh.
Coach Kwadwo Danso’s boys real test will be their next matches on Thursday where they will face South Africa at 11:00 am and Algeria at 3:00 pm to conclude the group phase.
