Meanwhile, Gabon needed a draw after winning their opening game.<\/p>\n<p>But a 90th minutes goal by substitute Jim Allevinah draw Gabon level and thus earned the Panthers a vital point in the Group C fixture. <\/p>\n<p>Speaking after the match, Ghana&#8217;s all-time top scorer could not hide his disappointment. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m upset! This (draw) is a loss to us. We (Ghana) should have won this game.&#8221; He said on Super Sports<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not happy, we deserved the three points but I think we lost a bit of concentration and conceded a goal in the last minute. We cannot keep on conceding goals in the latter stages of the game,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>Ghana following the draw will need a win against Comoros in their last group game and hope to qualify for the last 16 stage as one of the best third-place teams. <\/p>\n<p>The Black Stars will play the debutants on Tuesday, January 18. <\/p>\n<p><b>Below is Briget Otoo&#8217;s tweet with images of Asamoah Gyan crying<\/b> <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ASAMOAH_GYAN3?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ASAMOAH_GYAN3<\/a> it\u2019s obvious he cried when the Gabon goal went in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AFCON2021?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AFCON2021<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3gh0bEChzN\">pic.twitter.com\/3gh0bEChzN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Bee #AFCON2021 Diaries (@Bridget_Otoo) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Bridget_Otoo\/status\/1482095276533899271?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 14, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan Ghana could qualify for R16 as third best place team with win over Comoros Gabon share spoils with Ghana in Group C Dede Ayew scores Ghana&#8217;s first goal at AFCON2021 Black Stars legend, Asamoah Gyan was teary while discussing Ghana&#8217;s disappointing draw against Gabon in the African Cup of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":750982,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-750981","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-local-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/750981","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=750981"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/750981\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=750981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=750981"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=750981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
