Head Coach of the Black Stars of Ghana Chris Hughton has revealed his disappointment following his side's 1-1 stalemate with Madagascar in the 2023 AFCON qualifier at the Mahamasina Municipal Stadium on Sunday, June 18.

Ghana failed to extend their lead on top of Group E but managed to grab a point to still maintain the first stop with nine points after five games, having won two and drawn three.

Hughton emphasized his unhappiness over the team’s inability to score a goal in his post-game interview.

“We are very disappointed. We came here with the attitude and mindset to win. To win a football match, you need to score goals. We found it difficult. We needed to be more forceful to create more opportunities to score,” Hughton said.

Ghana’s qualification to the 2023 AFCON tournament has now been delayed due to the draw.

To secure their place in the tournament, the Black Stars must win or draw in their final qualifier against the Central African Republic in September.

The upcoming match holds significant importance as Ghana strive to book their ticket to the prestigious AFCON competition.
