Medeama SC has secured qualification to the group stage of the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League despite losing 2-1 to Guinea's Horoya AC in the second leg of the second-round qualifiers.

The Yellow and Mauves made history by becoming the first Ghanaian side to reach the group stage since 2012/13 when Berekum Chelsea represented Ghana at that level.

The Tarkwa-based team progressed with a 4-3 aggregate score over two legs, having won the first leg 3-1 in Cape Coast two weeks ago.

Ghanaian international Jonathan Sowah gave Medeama SC an early lead in the 24th minute through a penalty kick, but Mandela Ocansey equalized for Horoya with a fine finish just two minutes later.

Horoya added a second goal in the 76th minute to make it 2-1 for the hosts, but that did not deter the Ghanaian side as they kept their composure and held on until the final whistle.

Medeama began their Champions League journey with a 1-0 win over Nigerian side Remo Stars and qualified on penalties after losing by the same scoreline in the return leg.
