The nation is now in doubt to qualify for the African cup in Morocco after losing two nil to coach Kwesi Appiah's Sudan. 

With a similar lineup against Sudan in Accra coach Otto Addo made only one change as Inaki Williams replaced Jordan Ayew this time in Benghazi far away in North Africa.


In the first twenty minutes the home side really came to the party and created decent chance from counter attacks, and Elisha owusu struggled to control those breaks from them. This forced goalkeeper Lawrence Ati-Zigi to make an excellent save.


Those same free kicks made Antonie Semenyo get a yellow card in the 24th minute as he pushed a Sudanese player outside the 18 yard box.


Once again Ghana took the second yellow card in the 30th minute as Gideon Mensah pushed down a Sudanese player around the center.


Through all the while the center pair of Mohammed Salisu and Alexander Djiku really proved solid in the the heart of defense, resisting many of the attacks that ere brought on them.


And also after forty one minutes Mohammed Al Mustafa, goalkeeper for Sudan also picked up a card.


The 43th minute brought the first Conner kick of the game to Ghana, but it wasted by the Black Stars.


The first half ended in a draw, which the Black Stars only dominated just the last 10 minutes of the half, after some fine performance from the backline.

Even though with 60% of possession they couldn't really make use of it as well.


The second half began well for Ghana, after Inaki Williams score from a Conner kick but was flagged as an offside against the Ghanaian.


Sudan came close to scoring after missing a big chance in the goal area of Ghana.


Right after that coach Otto Addo reacted with a double change, taking out Semenyo and Ernest Nuamah for Fatawu Isahaku and Jordan Ayew in the 56th minute.


The counter attacks of Sudan finally paid of in the 62nd minute as they scored the first goal of the match.


And the second goal came some few more minutes after the first.

The game ended in defeat for Ghana, they are currently 3rd on the table with only 2 points minus 2 goals, the worst Black Stars  the last 20 years. 







With the quality Ghana has, this is a result that shows nothing good about a football Nation, poor performance in the last few years after struggling to go for the last Afcon, the football Association didn't make any changes to solve the issue.
