Story By: Ghana Soccernet

Black Stars had recovery training in Johannesburg on Friday morning following their draw with Ethiopia in 2022 World Cup qualifiers.

The players trained at the Bidvest Stadium hours after they dropped valuable points as they were held 1-1 by Ethiopia at the Orlando Stadium.

Black Stars are expected to depart South Africa later on Friday for Ghana to start preparations for their last game against South Africa.

Ghana host South Africa at the Cape Coast Stadium on Sunday with the former needing victory to progress to the final round of the qualifiers.

Black Stars are three points adrift of Group G leaders South Africa following the 1-1 draw against Ethiopia and Bafana’s 1-0 win over Zimbabwe on Thursday.

South Africa have 13 points with Ghana second in the group with 10 points. A win for Ghana will see them go level on points with South Africa.

The winner of the group will now be determined by goal difference.

A 1-0 win would be enough for the Black Stars to overtake Bafana on the log based on the overall goals scored.

Both teams would end with the same goal difference (+4) if Ghana win by one goal, but the Black Stars will have more goals scored (7 vs 6).

Both teams have scored six goals after five games.

For South Africa, all they have to do is to frustrate Ghana and snatch a point.
