FLASHBACK: President Akufo-Addo with the black stars
President
Akufo-Addo has expressed shock over Black Stars’ premature exit from this
year’s AFCON.
Ghana
were booted out from the continental showpiece by Tunisia 5-4 on penalties
after 120 minutes at the 1/16th stage in Egypt on Monday.
It was
Ghana’s first ever defeat to the North African side in the competition’s
history.
Substitute
goalkeeper Farouk Ben Mustapha saved forward Caleb Ekuban’s penalty
to set a quarter final clash with debutants, Madagascar.
And
reacting to Kwasi Appiah men’s exit from the biennial soccer festival, President
Akufo-Addo, who had earlier charged the team to return home with the trophy,
expressed shock on Twitter.
He,
however, expressed confidence that the team would bounce back even
stronger.
“Like most Ghanaians, I am gutted by the exit of the Black Stars at Afcon 2019. I wish the team better luck next time. I am confident they will bounce back even stronger, and make all of us proud once again,” the president tweeted.
