The Black Spikers reiterated their ambition to win the tournament with a 3-1 victory against their counterpart from Benin.
Ghana started on a brighter spot by winning the first set 25:15 but unfortunately the Beninese quickly responded with a 22:25 victory in the second set.

Speaking after the fascinating encounter, head coach of the Black Spikers, Rahman Abdul indicated that he was astonished with the performance from the Beninese and was not expecting a walkover for Ghana
“First of all I am pleased with the results today and I must acknowledge the Benin team for the performance they put up today. Even though I was expecting a tough game, they gave us something more than a tough game but I’m happy we brushed them off eventually,” he admitted
Meanwhile, the games continue on Saturday as Ghana’s U23 side who are also partaking in the tournament will face Benin while Burkina Faso come face-to-face against Mali and Nigeria.
