Report: Namibia shock Ghana in pre-Afcon friendly

James Kwesi Appiah’s outfit were left disappointed in their first preparatory match for the upcoming continental showpiece

Ghana have been given a wake-up call ahead of the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt following a surprising 1-0 defeat to Namibia in a pre-tournament friendly on Sunday.

Mubarak Wakaso’s missed penalty meant Manfred Starke’s lone goal made the difference in the warm-up game played behind closed doors in Dubai.

The match was the last opportunity for players to stake a claim to the final Afcon squad, which is expected to be named by Monday.
