The Black Stars of Ghana have earned a vital point against Angola in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON] qualifiers against Angola.<\/p>\n

In the matchday four games of the qualifiers, Ghana were hosted at the Est\u00e1dio 11 de Novembro in Luanda.<\/p>\n

Having defeated the\u00a0Palancas Negras in the matchday three games by a lone goal at the Baba Yara Stadium last week, the Black Stars were hoping to keep their perfect run in the qualifiers intact.<\/p>\n

Chris Hughton dropped Thomas Partey and Inaki Williams in his starting XI for the clash and named an unfamiliar side for the game.<\/p>\n

Kingsley Schindler, who replaced injured Tariq Lamptey was handed a debut game.<\/p>\n

Ghana started the game on a good note and dominated the game in the early hours of the first half.<\/p>\n

Angola came close to breaking the deadlock but Ati Zigi kept the team in the game to end the first half goalless.<\/p>\n

After recess, Angola broke the deadlock after they were awarded a penalty. Lucas Joao converted the spot kick in the 51st minute to put the side ahead.<\/p>\n

Chris Hughton made substitution by bringing off Kamaldeen Sulemana, Mohammed Kudus, Antoine Semenyo, and Edmund Addo and bringing on Inaki Williams, Joseph Paintsil, Osman Bukari and Majeed Ashimeru.<\/p>\n

In a space of less than a minute, Osman Bukari, who plays for Red Star Belgrade connected Paintsil\u2019s cross to find the back of the net to make it 1-1.<\/p>\n

Inaki failed to connect Samed Salis\u2019 cross to put Ghana ahead.<\/p>\n

The Black Stars kept pushing and\u00a0came close to double their lead after KRC Genk forward, Joseph Paintsil struck the crossbar in the 87th minute.<\/p>\n

After 90 minutes of an entertaining game, the game ended 1-1. Despite the draw, Ghana still sit top of Group E with 8 points.<\/p>\n

Chris Hughton has now recorded a win and draw in his first two games played as Black Stars coach.<\/p>\n

Ghana will take on Madagascar and the Central African Republic in the final round of the qualifiers.<\/p>\n
