| Black Stars B knocked out by Local Stallion of Burkina Faso after a goalless drawn game. |
Senior national team of Ghana, Black Stars B have failed to qualify for the CHAN Championship next year.
Maxwell Konadu and his boys were held to a pulsating goalless draw in Ouagadougou in Sunday's encounter. Black Stars B lost in the first leg at home by 1-0, a second leg in Burkina Faso saw both Local Stallion of Burkina Faso and Black Stars B in a goalless drawn game sending the home team through to the next round of the qualifier with a 1-0 aggregate.
This will be the third time in a row Black Stars B are failing to represent Ghana in the CAF organised tournament.
Head coach Maxwell Konadu in a post match conference attributed their elimination due to hard luck.
" Our elimination from the qualifiers was as a result of a hard luck. My boys played well, we came into the game in the second half, but just that, we could not score a goal. It's sad, but we will work out the mistakes and come back stronger."
Konadu guided the team to the WAFU Zone B tournament in Senegal after losing out on penalties to the host nation in the final.
