ACN: Day 4

Short and sweet review of day 4 and the opening games of Group D.

Day kicked off with Ghana vs Botswana (Ghana I think could be easily be a Semi Final/Finalist in my humble opinion). Ghana went on to to win 1-0 with a goal from their captain John Mensah after 25 minutes from a deflected shot just outside the area. However he went from hero to zero midway through the second half making a clumsy challenge on a Botswana breakaway midway through the second half to see a red card, Ghana hung on to win 1-0.

The second game saw Mali take on Guinea which also ended 1-0 to Mali. They took the lead after a ball cut back to Bakaye Traore is hit from outside the area but takes a deflection and goes into the back of the net, unlucky Guinea! This is how it remained and Mali get the three points.

So all the teams have played their first games now and the second set of games start today (Wednesday) as in Group A Libya take on Zambia (1-1 I think) and Equatorial Guinea face Senegal (2-1 to Senegal I think)

Til tomorrow...
