A late goal from Thomas Partey was not enough to ease Ghana's woes as they remain on the cusp of seeing their 2018 FIFA World Cup hopes go up in smoke following a 1-1 draw to Congo at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi on Friday.
The Black Stars have qualified for three successive World Cup's, but look sure to miss out on a ticket to Russia as they remain winless in Group E with Uganda and Egypt leading the way.
For Congo, a point on their travels will serve as some motivation, but in reality the result does neither team any good as they remain well off the pace heading into the reverse fixture in Brazzaville.
The Red Devils made a positive start and hit the front as early as the 18th minute through Thievy Bifouma.Ghana went in search of a reply with Partey looking the most likely, his rasping effort well saved by Barel Mouko in the 38th minute.
