‘It’s unfortunate for Ghana’ – Kwesi Appiah after Sudan’s win over Black Stars

Sudan head coach Kwesi Appiah has described Ghana’s defeat to his team in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers as unfortunate.

The Falcons of Jediane beat the Black Stars 2-0 on Tuesday afternoon at the Martyrs of February Stadium in Benghazi, Libya, in round four of the series.

Speaking after the game, the former Ghana coach expressed his sympathy for his native country, saying it is unfortunate that only one team can advance.

“It’s unfortunate for Ghana. Ghana has a good team but it’s unfortunate that only one of us can go through,” Appiah said.

“I’m happy we’ve been able to put a smile on Sudanese faces.”

Ghana currently sits third in Group F with two points from four games and is on the verge of not qualifying for the AFCON for the first time in 20 years.

The Black Stars will be back in action in the November international break for their final two games of the qualifiers against Niger and Angola.
