Good evening and welcome to the live text commentary of the clash between the Black Stars of Ghana and their counterparts from Mozambique.
Ghana is facing Mozambique in their final Group B encounter at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.
Ahead of the start of the clash, Chris Hughton has made just one change to the Black Stars’ starting eleven that played the game against giants Egypt last Thursday.
Only Inaki Williams is out of the first eleven and has been replaced by winger Joseph Paintsil.
Goalkeeper Richard Ofori keeps his place in Ghana starting eleven and will be guarded by a defensive back line that includes Gideon Mensah, Denis Odoi, Mohammed Salisu, and Alexander Djiku.
There is a partnership of Majeed Ashimeru and Abdul Salis Samed in the Ghana midfield while Mohammed Kudus plays a key role as the attacking midfielder.
Jordan Ayew and Joseph Paintsil will be operating from the flanks while Antoine Semenyo plays as the number 9 for the Black Stars.
Our team to face Mozambique 💪🏾
