FULL TIME: Ghana 0-0 Nigeria

Ghana held Nigeria to a goalless draw in the first leg of the 2022 Fifa World Cup final qualifying fixture on Friday.

As expected in a fully-packed Baba Yara Sports Stadium, the Black Stars made an aggressive start to the encounter but the Super Eagles were solid to resist the hosts’ attacking threats.

In the absence of suspended Andre Ayew, Roma youngster Felix Ohene-Gyan led Ghana's attack while Lorient's Innocent Bonke joined Joe Aribo in Nigeria's midfield and Leon Balogun formed a partnership with William Troost-Ekong at the centre of the defence.
