1st Group D match of Afcon 2017 between the Black Stars of Ghana and The Cranes of Uganda has ended in a 1-Nil victory for Ghana. Andrew Ayew placed Ghana ahead from a spot kick awarded from a bad tackle on Gyan.

Though the Stars put up an unimpressive performance especially in the second half, they have secured a valid 3points in the campaign.

Will this win some love back for the squad as some Ghanaians intended not to support the team in the tournament?
