CAF Champions League: Bibiani Gold Stars beaten by Algerian side JS Kabylie

Frimpong Manso’s Bibiani Gold Stars knew the task ahead the moment they were drawn against the North African side.

Playing against teams from North Africa has now become a difficult task in sports for West African sides, as they are now finding it difficult to record a decent result against teams from that region.

Ghana’s sole representative in the CAF Champions League was beaten 2-0 at the Accra Sports Stadium by the Algerian club JS Kabylie, with the second leg scheduled to be played next weekend.

A 20th-minute goal from the 28-year-old Algerian midfielder Mehdi Merghem gave the visitors an expected lead.

The Miners were limited by the visitors in every department of the game, making life so hard in the afternoon for the Ghanaians.

JSK ended the first half in a commanding lead, with all things indicating that they were going to take full control of the game in the second half.

Bibiani Gold Stars launched a barrage of attacks on the North Africans, but they resisted the threat and protected their 1-0 lead.

In the 95th minute, the visitors rounded up their fine afternoon by scoring their second goal to make sure that Bibiani Gold Stars would have no chance to progress.
