Captain of the side, <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/sports/football/leicester-city-manager-steve-cooper-says-its-tough-not-starting-jordan-ayew/tv3xkcw">Jordan Ayew </a>scored a David Beckham-esque freekick to give the Black Stars an early lead which they were able to hold on to in the first half.&nbsp;

They were on the back foot after taking the lead, but Angola were able to break down a defense led by debutant Razak Simpson, who had a brilliant showing.&nbsp;

However, three minutes past the hour mark, a poor clearance by Alidu Seidu presented the perfect opportunity for Milson to send in a cross which Zini freely headed home to restore parity for the home side.&nbsp;

Before that though, it was goalkeeper Abdul Manaf Nurudeen who was the hero of the game after saving a penalty kick by M’bala Nzola in the 27th minute.&nbsp;

Overall, it was a polarizing performance from Otto Atto’s men. Some lived up to the task while others continued their shambolic display for the national team.&nbsp;

Abdul Manaf Nurudeen - 6.5/10&nbsp;

Abdul Fatawu Issahaku – 4/10&nbsp;

Substitutes:&nbsp;

Ransford Konigsdorffer – 3.5/10&nbsp;

Both Nuamah and Bukari came on after the 80th minute and had little to no impact on the game.&nbsp;
