The Black Stars need to beat Comoros Island to stand a chance of making it to the next stage of the tournament.

Ghana have just a point after two games, following a defeat to Morocco and a draw against Gabon.

The four times African champions are under pressure to win the tournament for the first time since 1982.

Ghana striker Benjamin Tetteh handed 3 game ban

Earlier, SportsBrief.com reported that, the Confederation of Africa Football (CAF) has banned Black Stars forward Benjamin Tetteh for three matches following his role in the melee that ensued after the Ghana versus Gabon game.

The Ghana forward attacked a Gabonese player right at the end of the match, starting the scuffles that marred an intense encounter.

In a statement from the CAF's disciplinary committee, the player will first face an automatic two match ban before an addition one game suspension for indiscipline.

Andre Ayew Man of the Match

Earlier, SportsBrief.com reported that, Ghana's Andre Ayew has been handed the Man of the Match award after the Black Stars' draw against Gabon in the second group C game at the Africa Cup of Nations.

The 32-year-old netted stunner to break the game's deadlock in the 18th minute, but the West African giants failed to win the match after Jim Allevinah's 88th minute strike ensured the game ended in a draw.

In photos posted on Twitter, the Ghanaian forward is seen receiving his award despite the disappointment of seeing his goal cancelled by the Gabonese.
