2022 World Cup playoff: Ghana winger Osman Bukari overwhelmed by massive support for the Black Stars against Nigeria

France-based winger Osman Bukari remains in awe with the overwhelming support experienced during last Friday’s World Cup play-off between the Black Stars of Ghana and Nigeria in Kumasi.

The Baba Yara Stadium which hosted the much-anticipated clash on Friday was filled to the brim as the Black Stars and Super Eagles drew 0-0 in the first leg of the 2022 World Cup playoff tie.

The former Ghana U-23 forward, who came on in the second half to replace Fatawu Issahaku, was overwhelmed by the atmosphere.

“Overwhelming atmosphere, the crowd and the support were massive. Focused as always, we keep fighting. We go again on Tuesday!” Bukari wrote on Twitter.

Nigeria arrived back in Abuja in the early hours of Saturday morning after Friday’s game and have started preparing for the second leg in Abuja.

With the 0-0 draw in the first leg, a win would be enough to secure Nigeria’s place at World Cup finals.

Meanwhile, Ghana need a scoring draw or a win to eliminate their West African rivals and reach Qatar.

Black Stars are expected to travel to Abuja on Monday ahead of Tuesday’s crunch match.

The game will take place at the 60,000 capacity Moshood Abiola National Stadium.
