Ghana’s 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers campaign began poorly with a 1-0 loss to Angola at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi.
This is Ghana’s first defeat since February 2000, at the Baba Yara stadium in Kumasi.
Angolan substitute Jaoa Felicio Milson scored a goal in the 93rd minute after Abdul Mumin failed to clear a cross in the Ghana box.
The poor pitch condition in the match led to both teams struggling to perform at their best, causing significant headlines.
Jordan Ayew and Mohammed Kudus saw their efforts blocked, while Antoine Semenyo and Fatawu Issahaku failed to make a breakthrough.
Angola, despite not being a dominant possession force, successfully managed more goal attempts, demonstrating their persistence in stoppage time.
Ghana is set to make a comeback in their second match against Niger on Monday.
