Benin started well and took the lead after just two minutes through Pote.

But Ghana recovered quickly from that setback as Fenerbache's on-loan Swansea forward Andre Ayew levelled the scores seven minutes later.

Three minutes before the break Jordan Ayew, who is on loan at Crystal Palace from Swansea, put Ghana ahead when he collected a pass on the turn before firing in from the edge of the area.

Ten minutes into the second half Ghana's hopes suffered a blow when Boye was shown a second yellow card for time wasting.

Tunisian referee Youssef Essayri decided to book Boye who looked set to take a free-kick in his own half before deciding to leave it to goalkeeper Richard Ofori.

Eight minutes later Benin were back on level terms as Pote netted his second goal of the game and that was enough to earn his side a share of the points.
