The Black Stars gave away two goals again to draw 2-2 against Mozambique in their final Group B game of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Ghana’s hopes of making it to the next round are hanging by the thread of a needle as they await the results from other groups to see if they qualify as the best third placed team.
Here are five things we’ve learned.
Fast start rewarded
Ghana had a fast start to the game which is very commendable looking at how relaxed the team has been in recent games. The fast start to the match was rewarded when Joseph Paintsil was brought down in the box after 14 minutes. Jordan Ayew scored to give Ghana the lead.
Jordan Ayew steps up
Big players step up on big occasions. Jordan Ayew was Ghana’s most experienced player on the pitch, with five AFCON tournament appearances. He took responsibility instead shifting it to a player like Mohammed Kudus.
Ghana goes to sleep
The Black Stars went to sleep after taking the lead. They almost went to sleep and were under pressure since taking the lead until the second goal came.
Ghana lucky
If Ghana was going to win, luck had to be on their side and it was on their side. You’d need luck for those penalties to be awarded and you needed luck for them to be converted.
Mistakes bite again
Mistakes give away Ghana’s chances of progressing as late goals end the game 2-2. A penalty given away by Andre Ayew and chaotic defending from the corner destroys everything for Ghana.
