The Black Meteors of Ghana have wrapped up their training tour in Egypt with a 4-1 win over Egyptian Club side Zamalek SC.

The National U23 team have been in Egypt since June 12 as they prepare for the TotalEnergies U23 African Cup of Nations which kicks off on Saturday June 24, 2023 in Morocco.

Emmanuel Yeboah hat-trick and Emmanuel Appau were Ghana’s goalscorers in Tuesday’s match which was played at the Zamalek Sports Complex.

Ghana shot into the lead just after 10 minutes with Emmanuel Yeboah slotting home to beat the Zamalek’s goalkeeper.

The Zamalek side which was made of some first team and reserve team players quickly rallied back and got the equalizer after five minutes.

Yeboah scored again on the 25th minute  to restore Ghana’s lead after a brilliant build up to the goal.

With about five minutes to the halftime break, Emmanuel got his hat-trick from a rebound before Emmanuel Appau added Ghana’s fourth on the day.

Goalkeeper Jordan Amissah pulled up a spectacular save after Zamalek were awarded a penalty just before the break.

The second half saw Coach Ibrahim Tanko making some substitutions with Aziz Dari, Randolf and Poku Waki all coming on in the second half.

Despite dominating the game in the second half, Ghana failed to add to the goal tally with the game ending 4-1 in favour of the Black Meteors.
