Despite a spirited second-half performance from Ghana, a late defensive error allowed Angola to snatch a goal in the dying minutes, securing all three points in their opening match of the qualifiers. The defeat marked Ghana’s first loss in Kumasi since February 2000, when they fell to South Africa in the AFCON quarter-finals.
With the loss, Ghana’s impressive home streak comes to an end, leaving the Black Stars with much to reflect on ahead of their next match against Niger in Morocco. They will hope to bounce back and regain their momentum.
