Ghana U-20 suffered 3-1 defeat to Morocco in Rabat
Ghana’s U-20 team lost 3-1 to Morocco but qualifies for the African Youth Championships on a slim 5-4 aggregate scoreline.
The Black Satellites were 2-0 down by the halftime, leaving Maxwell Konadu’s side in real danger of elimination.
But winger Frank Sarfo-Gyamfi pulled one back to ease the pressure on the Ghana team before eventually going 3-1 down to the Atlas Cubs courtesy a late penalty kick.
The home side pushed for a fourth goal to send the tie to penalty shootouts but the Black Satellites held on despite playing a staggering 10 minutes of time added after regulation time.
Ghana now joins six other teams alongside hosts, Algeria for next year’s championships.

ALUGUITUGUIN REFEREE! Give the host nation a last minute penalty to make it 3:1 and then put 10 minutes extra time. Every sensible person can see. hahaha african referees only care about their stomach. to hell with reputation.When oh when will we change?
It was not 10 minutes but rather 5 minutes yet the arab referee went on with the games till the 7th minutes. The freekick came at the 6th minutes and the goal against us was excellent. The guy scored a fantastic freekick which was not all an infringement.
what is different from what they said what you are saying? too know
E be you be too know…….the guy said the truth against all the over patriotic lies about 10mins extra time and you are calling him too know,people like you always hide actual facts
