The Ghanaian team was a weakened one, with most of it top players either suspended or injured.

However, Nigeria struggled to break the Black Stars with their galaxy of stars, including Napoli's Victor Osimhen.

The Ghanaian actor took to his Instagram account to react after the game at the Baba Yara sports stadium on Friday.

“Dear super chickens, I was very confident you won’t win this game. But before you leave for Naija I have free ginger from my farm for you,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, the Black Stars had a recovery training session at the Baba Yara Sports stadium on Sunday and will leave for Abuja on Monday.  Ghana will travel via a chattered flight.

The Black Stars will then train at the Mashood Abiola stadium on Monday, the venue for the crucial second leg.

In the first leg at the Baba Yara sports stadium, coach Otto Addo handed debuts to Dennis Odoi and Felix Afena-Gyan, both of whom impressed.

Ghana had chances to take the lead, with Abdul Fatawu Issahaku and Mohammed Kudus coming close at either side of the half.

Afena-Gyan could have give Ghana the lead deep in second half after a corner kink from Kudus evaded everyone.

Meanwhile, Nigeria gave Ghana a scare when the referee awarded a penalty only for the decision to be reversed by VAR.

The second leg will be played on Tuesday night at the Mashood Abiola stadium.
