The Black Stars have kissed a place at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations goodbye after recording a 1-1 draw with Angola in Luanda on Friday evening.<\/strong><\/p>\nGhana will now miss the AFCON for the first time since 2004, after making the competition for 10 consecutive editions.<\/p>\n
Jordan Ayew\u2019s brilliant free-kick was cancelled out by a powerful header from substitute Zini in the second half.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s how the players were rated.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Abdul Manaf Nurudeen-7<\/strong><\/p>\nOtto Addo made a bold move by starting Abdul Manaf Nurudeen over Lawrence Ati-Zigi, who has become Ghana\u2019s starter in the last two years. But it paid off in the first half as the man from Eupen made a big save. He was not at fault for the equalizer.<\/p>\n
Kingsley Schindler-5<\/strong><\/p>\nSchindler had a rather average game, not making big mistakes and neither was he available to make big clearances.<\/p>\n
Razak Simpson-6<\/strong><\/p>\nThe man from Nations FC was given his first-ever start in his first-ever call-up for the Black Stars and generally made a good account of himself, making huge clearances and interceptions.<\/p>\n
Alidu Seidu-5.5<\/strong><\/p>\nAlso a generally average game for Seidu as he sometimes struggled to deal with the constant attacks from the Angolan team.<\/p>\n
Gideon Mensah-4.5<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Auxerre left back was largely at fault for Angola\u2019s penalty in the first half and struggled to deal with his man for the most part.<\/p>\n
Ibrahim Sulemana-5<\/strong><\/p>\nSulemana was caught out of position a few times as Angolan players ran rings around him. The midfielder struggled to assert himself.<\/p>\n
Elisha Owusu-5<\/strong><\/p>\nElisha had a similar problem to his midfield partner. He did try to make some interceptions but was mostly dominated by Angola\u2019s passing.<\/p>\n
Mohammed Kudus-5<\/strong><\/p>\nAn uncharacteristically quiet game for one of Ghana\u2019s most important players. Not much was working for him.<\/p>\n
Michael Baidoo-5<\/strong><\/p>\nIt was also a quiet game for the Elfsborg man. Not much of a surprise as it is his first start at a tough ground.<\/p>\n
Fatawu Issahaku-5.5<\/strong><\/p>\nIt was a shame that Issahaku had to go off injured at the end of the first half as he was a livewire for the Black Stars, showing little fear as he ran at his opponents when he got the chance.<\/p>\n
Jordan Ayew-7<\/strong><\/p>\nThe captain led by example in the first half with a brilliant free-kick to give Ghana the lead. He drew as many fouls as possible as Ghana sought to maintain possession.<\/p>\n
Ebenezer Annan-4<\/strong><\/p>\nA passenger after coming on for Abdul Fatawu Issahaku. Did not do much to impact the game.<\/p>\n
Ransford-Yeboah- 4<\/strong><\/p>\nHad a great opportunity to score late on but fluffed his lines. Should have done better.<\/p>\n
Osman Bukari- N\/A<\/strong><\/p>\nNB: Players who came on after the 80th minute did not get a rating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
