Guinea have booked their place in the semi-finals of the 2023 U-23 Africa Cup of Nations after playing out a 1-1 draw with Ghana at the Ibn Batouta Stadium on Friday night.
Both sides were tied on three points going into the game but the Syl Nationale had the advantage with a better goal difference, meaning a draw was going to be more than enough to qualify.
Morlaye Cisse’s side however fell behind when Emmanuel Yeboah gave Ghana the lead in the 33rd minute. The scoreline remained that way until the 61st minute when Ibrahima Breze equalised for Guinea.
In the other Group A game, Morocco finished with a 100% record as they defeated Congo 1-0 courtesy of Younes Taha’s seventh minute effort.
