Ghana Black Stars’ heartbreak continues after another disappointing draw in matchday five of qualifying for the 2025 CAF Africa Cup of Nations, which ended in disappointment as they drew 1-1 with Angola in Luanda.
Despite taking an early lead through Jordan Ayew’s impressive free-kick in the 18th minute, they could not maintain their advantage, with Zine’s header equalizing the match in the 64th minute.
This result means Ghana, a four-time champion, will miss the tournament for the first time in 20 years. The Black Stars currently sit at the bottom of Group F with just three points from five matches, failing to record a victory.
Angola leads Group F with 13 points and has secured qualification for Morocco. Given Ghana’s esteemed football history, the country keenly feels disappointed.
In Group A, Comoros qualified for the AFCON for the second time, winning 2-1 against Gambia. The Gambia initially led, but Comoros equalized just before halftime and scored the winning goal in the 90th minute from substitute Myziane Maolida.
Further, Morocco continued their strong form with a 5-1 victory over Gabon, despite already securing their place in the tournament. After Gabon scored the first goal, Morocco responded with five consecutive goals, maintaining a perfect record in Group B with 15 points and a goal difference of +17.
