Ghana Black Stars’ race to Morocco 2025 Africa Cup of Nations has come to an end. The Black Stars put up spirited efforts but ended their away duel with Angola at 1-1.
They needed to win the match and also the next one at home next week against Niger Republic. But that Monday match has now turned into a dead rubber.
Had they won against Angola, they will strive to beat Niger Republic and hope the Sudan loses against Angola on Monday.
The calculations no longer hold. Yet Ghana began with a spirited effort as Jordan Ayew took a perfect free kick in the 18th minute to give Ghana the lead. They held on till the second half before group leaders, Angola levelled up in the 64th minute through Ambrosini António Cabaça Salvador, known professionally as Zini.
The result means that Ghana will be missing out at the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time in 20 years.
