Ghana miss out of Russia train

By Daily Sports on October 8, 2017

As Nigeria on Saturday qualified for the sixth World Cup appearance in Russia, their Ghanaian football rival, Ghana, were eliminated in the qualifiers.

Alex Iwobi's 73rd minute goal saw Nigeria become the first African team to qualify for next year's World Cup in Russia.

Ghana, quarterfinalists at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, were eliminated after managing only a goalless draw in Uganda when needing a win to keep their slim hopes alive.

It means Egypt can join Nigeria with victory at home to winless Congo on Sunday.

Failure to do so would mean Uganda can still pip them to top spot in Group E, with both facing away trips next month.

Uganda, who were promised $3 000-a-man to beat Ghana, created the better first-half chances in Kampala but William Kizito spurned the best of those.
