Ibrahim starred as the Black Meteors secured a 2-1 victory in Maputo in the first leg of their Africa U23 Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Hearts of Oak talisman Daniel Afriyie Barnieh's brace was enough to see Ghana return to Kumasi with a first leg advantage.

Ghana is hoping to make a return to the U23 Cup of Nations, which will also serve as qualifiers for the next Olympics.
