After dramatically losing 2-3 to Comoros at the Roumdé Adjia Stadium in Garoua, Ghana was knocked out of the continent’s most important football event in the group stage for the first time since 2006.
Goals from captain Ben Mohammed and Ahmed Mogni helped the Coelacantes to victory. Richmond Boakye Yiadom and Alexander Djiku provided the Black Stars with consolation goals.
Former Arsenal midfielder, Emmanuel Frimpong, who was upset with what he observed on Tuesday evening as a pundit on an Accra-based TV station, claimed that we should not use captain Andre Ayew’s red card as an excuse for the defeat.
He went on to say that the newcomers Comoros had been all over the Black Stars even before Andre Ayew was sent off.
The Ghana Black Stars, who are four-time winners, ended last in Group C with just one point after three games, having previously lost to the Atlas Lions of Morocco and drawn with the Panthers of Gabon.
