Libya draw 1-1 with Ghana to remain top of Group C in the African Nations Championship.

Libya have drawn 1-1 with Ghana in the African Nations Championship to remain top of Group C on goal difference.

Ghana took the lead just six minutes in when Yahaya Mohammed headed home Richard Mpong's free kick.

Michael Akuffo had the opportunity to double the Black Stars' lead just three minutes later, but the midfielder's shot from 25 yards out went wide.

As Ghana began to dominate proceedings, Yahaya almost grabbed his second of the match midway through the first half when his header flew just wide of the post.

Libya had to wait until the 36th minute before having their first attempt on goal, which Elmutasem Abushnaf fired wide after the ball broke to him following a corner.

Yahaya forced Libya goalkeeper Mohamed Fahti into a save just before the break, while opposite number Stephen Adams kept out Mohamed Ghanudi's strike with the final action of the first half.

The second half was a quieter affair, with both sides struggling to create goalscoring opportunities. However, Libya were awarded a penalty with 18 minutes remaining when Nuru Sulley brought down Ghanudi inside the area.

Faisal Ali struck his spot kick underneath the dive of Adams to equalise.

Adams made two saves in quick succession to earn his side a draw late on, keeping out a powerful effort from Mohamed El-Gadi before blocking Ghanudi's rebound from close range.
