Ghana kicked off the defence of their WAFU Cup of Nations title with a slender 1-0 win over Gambia at Stade Lat Dior in Thies, Senegal, on Tuesday.

The Black Stars started strong and came close to the opening goal in the 10th minute when Joseph Esso unleashed a long-range thunderbolt, but his effort went narrowly wide of the target.

The Gambians offered very little in the way of attack in the first half with their only significant chance coming courtesy of a 22-yard free-kick in the 20th minute,...
