Ghana's Black Galaxies put on a stellar display in a friendly match against Northern City FC on Thursday, December 5, 2024, claiming an emphatic 5-0 victory as they ramp up preparations for their upcoming CHAN qualifier against Nigeria.

The match played at the Ghanaman Soccer Center of Excellence

in Prampram, saw Berekum Chelsea's Stephen Amankona steal the spotlight with an impressive hat-trick. Hamza Issah and Abdul Rahman added to the tally, ensuring the national team's dominant performance.
