Hearts of oak striker Afriyie named in the starting line up for Nigeria clash

Black Satellites coach Karim Zito has named his starting line up to face the flying Eagles of Nigeria at the Stade de Gaulle in Porto-Novo.

Ghana begin their campaign today as Nigeria were held by Cote D’Ivoire in their opening game three days ago.

Ghana coach Karim Zito is expected to head into the game with a 4-4-2 formation.

Asante Kotoko’s Ibrahim Danlad will be in post for the Black Satellites and his experience in the previous tournament for the various national junior teams will be needed in this encounter.

Teenage sensation Matthew Cudjoe and Hearts of Oak winger who also doubles as the skipper of the side Daniel Barnie Afriyie are expected to lead the attack in this game.

Ghana will be hoping to revenge their defeat in their previous meeting in this tournament two years ago.
