U-20 AFCON: Denis Marfo impresses as Ghana open campaign with 1-1 draw against DR Congo


The Black Satellites kicked off their U-20 Africa Cup of Nations campaign with a 1-1 draw against DR Congo in Group C.

One of Ghana’s standout performers on the day was defensive midfielder Denis Marfo.

The Internacional player provided much-needed stability in midfield, helping to plug defensive gaps and link play effectively.

Marfo played a key role in Ghana’s 25th-minute equalizer.

He executed a perfectly timed nutmeg on Dieu Lukombe before delivering a crisp pass down the left wing to Emmanuel Mensah. Mensah then whipped in a cross that was calmly finished by Dreams FC forward Aziz Musbau.

Despite flashes of brilliance, both teams struggled with cohesion and ball retention, and the match ended 1-1.

With all teams in Group C earning just a point, the group remains wide open heading into the next round of matches.
