Satellites fail to qualify for Zambia 2017

The Black Satellites of Ghana failed to qualify for the 2017 African Youth Championship in Zambia after they were knocked out by Senegal on a 3-2 goal aggregate despite a 1-0 win on Friday at the Cape Coast Stadium.

Charles Boateng's goal was not enough for the Satellites who failed to overturn a 3-1 deficit at the Cape Coast Stadium.

Coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani's side, had in their ranks talented youngsters such as Dauda Mohammed, Yaw Yeboah and Charles Boateng but they were unable to get a vital second goal which would have seen them progress on the away goals rule.

The result means the 2009 World and African U-20 Champions will not be at the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Korea.
