African Cup of Nations 2017
Uganda 0-1 Ghana
Andre Dede Ayew has given Ghana the lead against Uganda in a group D game played at Stade Port Gentil.
Ayew scored from a penalty after a clumsy challenge on Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan in the forbidden area.
Uganda had the first shot on target as early as the fourth minute when Mawejje disposed Arrison Afful but his feeble shot was easy for Razak Braimah to collect.
Two minutes later, the black stars too had a chance but Thomas Party failed to find the target firing wide.
A poor clearance by goalkeeper Dennis Onyango almost cost Uganda in the 13th minute but Hassan Wasswa was quick to clear out of danger.
From then onwards, Ghana became dominant enjoying majority of the possession.
Asamaoh Gyan had two successive headers but failed to hit the target.
Christian Atsu who was lively throughout the first 45 minutes kept troubling Ochaya and had a shot on goal but Onyango was in the right position to collect it.
Isaac Isinde gave away a penalty after losing possession to Gyan and Andre Ayew converted from the spot kick to give Ghana the lead.
Uganda had two chances towards the end of first half with Miya hitting the woodwork while Isinde had a chance to head home at the death of the clock.
