Ghana’s Black Satellites secured third place at the 2025 WAFU-B U20 Boys Tournament with a decisive 2-0 victory over Niger at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium on Wednesday.
Striker Aziz Musibau delivered both goals, sealing the win in coach Desmond Ofei’s final match leading the U-20 squad. The bronze medal marks Ghana’s second podium finish under Ofei’s three-year tenure.
The match encountered controversy in the 67th minute when Niger’s team temporarily walked off the pitch protesting a handball penalty awarded to Ghana. Tournament officials intervened to restore order before play resumed. Musibau calmly converted the resulting spot-kick in the 70th minute, breaking the deadlock.
Musibau sealed his brace eight minutes later, finishing a swift team move with a close-range tap-in off Kelvin Nkrumah’s precise cross. Ghana maintained control through the final stages to clinch the bronze in the inaugural regional tournament. The victory concludes Ofei’s U-20 coaching chapter as he transitions fully to his assistant role with Ghana’s senior national team, the Black Stars.
