It was a Tetteh and Tetteh affair when the Black Satellites played guest to the Qatar Olympic team in a 2-2 drawn international friendly held at the multi-purpose Al-Arabi Sports Stadium in Doha on Tuesday evening.
Samuel and Benjamin Tetteh scored in both halves for the Ghana U-20 side who are preparing towards the 2015 Africa Youth Championship to be hosted by Senegal.
Ghana stunned the hosts in the 38th minute to end the first half in the lead but Qatar came back strongly in the second half with two quick goals in a space of three minutes.
In the 51st minute, Saleh Al Yazidi capitalized on an error by Patrick Asmah to draw parity and the Al Sadd midfielder was on hand again two minutes later to give the hosts the lead after flapping his way past two Ghana defenders with goalkeeper Michael Sai at his mercy. – 2.1
Coach Sellas Tetteh effected three changes – Sekondi Hasaacas striker Samuel Afful replaced Sulley Mohammed while Noah Martey made way for Benjamin Tetteh and the two new inclusions combined for Tetteh to slot home the leveller in the 79th minute.
Liberty Professionals’ Latif Abubakar was Ghana’s final substitute as he came in for Kofi Yeboah.
The Black Satellites are scheduled to leave Ghana for Cairo where they will face the Egypt U-23 national team during the weekend.
