The Black Stars were looking to get back to winning ways after a tough run, including a loss to Angola and a draw with Niger. Unfortunately, their struggles continued. In the first leg of their doubleheader, Ghana played to a goalless draw at the Accra Sports Stadium. Things took a worse turn in the return leg in Libya, where they suffered a 2-0 defeat.
Speaking to Ghana FA media, Coach Otto Addo, 45, opened up about how the loss affected him personally, sharing that the past few days had been emotionally challenging. However, he credited the support from his family and friends for helping him regain his focus and lift his spirits.
“To be honest, I felt down the last two days,” Addo admitted. “But I received a lot of positive feedback and support from family and friends, and that’s what I needed. I think the whole team needed it, and it’s helped me get back on track.”
Ghana now finds itself in a difficult position with just two points from four games. The Black Stars must win their upcoming final group matches against Angola and Niger in November, while hoping Sudan drops points, to keep their hopes of qualifying for the tournament alive.
