Black Stars head coach, Otto Addo has described his team’s defeat to Sudan as a “hard pill” to swallow.
The senior national team had hoped to secure their first win in the qualifiers after a disappointing start, but their struggles continued.
Following a goalless draw at the Accra Sports Stadium, the Black Stars suffered a 2-0 defeat in the return leg at the Martyrs of February Stadium in Libya.
The loss has put Ghana’s chances of qualification in jeopardy, with the team earning only two points out of a possible 12 after four matches, leaving them in 3rd place in Group F.
“Everybody was down, and the loss was a really hard pill to take. It’s not over yet; mathematically, there is still a chance, and we will do everything we can to keep this chance alive,” Addo told the Ghana FA Media.
“We have a lot to learn, and I think this is a valuable experience. It’s really disappointing that we couldn’t at least win our home games to put ourselves in a better position for the away matches. We need to improve. It’s painful, but we can certainly use this as a lesson to learn from our mistakes,” he added.
Ghana will look to turn things around when they resume their final group matches in November, facing Niger and Angola.
They will hope to secure wins while banking on Sudan, who currently sit 2nd with seven points, losing to Angola and Niger.
