Match Report: 2015 AYC Ghana 3-1 Mali - Aboagye inspires Black Satellites to revenge against Eaglets
Granada FC attacker Clifford Aboagye put up an impressive show for Ghana as the Black Satellites claimed sweet revenge over Mali by beating them 3-1 at the 2015 African Youth Championship in Senegal.
The 20-year-old claimed a ball around the center and went on a solo run, outpacing three Malian defenders before bravely approaching the box and shrugging off a defender and forcing a ball past the Malian keeper for the third goal.
Before Aboagye's solo finish, Manchester City starlet Yaw Yeboah had grabbed a brace to put Ghana 2-0 ahead. Yeboah's second of the evening was hallmark of great talent. The 18-year-old controlled a pass inside the box before slickly bending the ball to beat the onrushing keeper.
After Ghana had gone 3-0 ahead and had two decent penalty appeals turned down, the Malian reduced the deficit after the Ghana keeper misjudged his run and got picked out by a long range pass from midfield.
Mali were given late hope to further slash down the deficit when they were awarded a penalty but the forward who stepped up saw his kicked palmed away by the Ghana keeper.

Was the writer sleeping? What about the editor? How can you write this: "for Ghana as the Black Satellites as the Black Satellites" and "forcing a ball past the Malian keeper for the second third goal"
