Mohammed Kudus scores again as Black stars draws with CAR
Ajax Amsterdam midfielder Mohammed Kudus was on target again on Sunday as the Black Stars held the Central African Republic to 1-1 drawn game in their 2023 African Cup on Nation qualifier.
The Nima-born star put Ghana ahead with a curler in the 17th minutes before CAR pulled parity 3 minutes before the first half mark.
It is Kudus’ second goal for the Stars in two matches and it comes just three days after grabbing the opener at Cape Coast when Ghana trounced Madagascar by 3-0 in the qualifying campaign.
Bossing the midfield with his artistic display of deft touches in a hotly-contested game, it was the 26 year old who stepped forward to curl in a brilliant hit beyond the reach of CAR goalkeeper Alladoum Kolimba.
Karl Namnganda pulled parity for CAR in the 41st minute with a delightful strike that flew past Ghana goalkeeper Ati-Zigi in game hosted at the Estádio 11 de Novembro in Angola.
Coach Otto Addo made some significant changes for this game, with goalkeeper Jojo Wallocot, Captain Dede Ayew, Jordan Ayew, Baba RahmaCoachn, Baba Iddrisu, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku all left on the bench.
The Black Stars remain on top of the group with four points but edge Angola who also have four, on goal difference after the “Giant Antelopes” secured a point in another group fixture against Madagascar.
