Fans finally had an opportunity to watch the team after months of absence when the team hosted La Côte d’Ivoire in an international friendly on Saturday evening.

The game was expected to have 25% of the Cape Coast Stadium’s total capacity after easing restrictions following the COVID-19 pandemic, but exceeded as thousands of spectators thronged in to watch their stars.

The Ivorians without Nicolas Pepe, Gervinho and a few key players paraded a strong starting eleven that matched the Black Stars of Ghana boot for boot.

But after 45 minutes of action, none of the two West African giants could break the deadlock despite attacks of the Ivorian team with Thomas Partey testing the Sylvian Ghobou once.
