The Black Stars won with a last-minute goal scored by Bournemouth striker Antoine Semenyo at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi on Thursday, March 23, 2023. Semenyo smashed home in the goal area after a goalmouth melee following a freekick by Mohammed Kudus in the last minute of injury time.
The Black Stars were awarded a freekick in the fifth minute of injury after Joseph Paintsil was fouled on the edge of the Palancas Negras’ penalty box
Kudus whipped in a curled shot which the Angola keeper failed to deal with. After spilling it, a Ghana player tried to scramble it over the line but a defender on the line cleared the ball before it eventually fell to Semenyo.
A video of the goal by Semenyo has sparked reactions. Some Ghanaians have attributed it to Christian Atsu.
