Black Stars coach, Otto Addo has expressed his disappointment with the team for conceding “cheap goals” in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
After losing 1-0 to Angola in their opener last week Thursday at the Baba Yara Stadium, the Black Stars were held to a 1-1 draw against Niger.
Ghana let in a late goal on Monday when Oumar Sako capitalised on a loose ball in the 18-yard box to secure a point for Nigeriens after Alide Seidu scored in the first half.
The result means Ghana have just one point from their opening two games of the qualifiers and sit 3rd i Group F.
“Very disappointed with the way we allow goals [to go in]. We had a quite cheap goal against Angola and now again [against Niger],” Addo said.
“We have to be on our toes to defend these situations better.”
Ghana will face a double-header against Sudan in their next qualifiers in October as the Black Stars hope to return to winning ways.
“It will be difficult again [Sudan]. For us, it will be a crucial match. We have to win.
“There is no way around that. If we want to qualify for the AFCON, we have to win. We are under pressure. It is still in our own hands but we have to win the next game.”
