 Ghana's Asamoah Gyan couldn't help his side to victory |
Ghana and Nigeria both failed to secure a place at next year's Olympic Games, when they drew 0-0 in Accra on Friday. Nigeria have the chance to overhaul the Black Meteors at the top of the table in their final group game next year.
But Ghana have no more matches to play.
They top the table in pool A by two points.
So, if Nigeria beat South Africa in March, they will pip Ghana at the top of the table and go to the Olympics.
But a draw or a defeat for the Nigerians will see Ghana claim the pool A ticket.
Ghana had put out a star-studded team in a bid to secure qualification.
Asamoah Gyan - who also plays for the Black Stars - was drafted in to the side.
But he and the rest of the team missed several chances to secure victory in front of their home crowd.
