Ghana’s Black Satellites captain, Aziz Misbau, was named Most Valuable Player after an impressive performance in their 1-1 draw against Nigeria in the 2025 WAFU Zone B U20 Championship.
Misbau scored a stunning goal in the first half, firing a thunderous finish into the roof of the net to give Ghana an early lead.
Beyond his goal, he demonstrated maturity beyond his years, breaking up play with crucial interceptions, dictating the tempo from midfield, and leading by example in a physical encounter.
His composure and drive were instrumental in Ghana matching Nigeria’s intensity, even after Nigeria equalized in the second half through Abdullahi Muhammed’s header.
Misbau continued to inspire his teammates, earning widespread applause from the home crowd.
This performance provides a major boost to coach Desmond Ofei’s side ahead of their final Group A fixture against Benin, where a win is necessary to secure a semi-final spot.
