The duo, who are believed to be in their late twenties, were grabbed by the police on Saturday at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium

Two gentlemen were arrested by Ghana Police Service for printing fake tickets when Black defeated Zimbabwe 3-1 in the 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium on Saturday.

The duo were selling the fake tickets together with the ones printed by National Sports Authority but luck eluded them.

Following their arrest, they told the police that the tickets were given to them at the Black Stars hotel by some unnamed people and investigations are currently ongoing.

Kudus Mohammed gave the Black Stars the lead by the fifth minute with a wonderful finish after he combined with Jordan Ayew. The Crystal Palace striker who has come under a lot of criticisms set up Kudus and the Ajax midfielder calmly slotted in his finish beyond the reach of Zimbabwe goalkeeper.

After the break, Zimbabwe restored parity by the 49th minute through Knowledge Musonda. The Al Tai striker sent goalkeeper Joe Wollacott to the wrong side from the penalty spot.

However, Ghana restored their lead by the 66th minute through Thomas Partey. The Arsenal midfielder sent in a fine finish to break down the bulwark defence of the visitors.

Andre Ayew added another goal by the 87th minute to end all hopes by Zimbabwe to stage a late comeback in the game.

Ghana will now travel to Harare on Sunday evening for the return fixture scheduled for Tuesday.

In the other group game, South Africa secured a 2-1 away win over Ethiopia in Addis Ababa earlier today. They now have seven points and Ghana have six points
