Ghanaâs 24-year Kumasi unbeaten run ends with shock defeat to Angola
Ghana’s long-standing home dominance in Kumasi has come to an unexpected end with a 1-0 defeat to Angola.The loss at Baba Yara Stadium on Wednesday broke a remarkable 25-year unbeaten streak for the Black Stars in the Ashanti Regional capital, a venue where they had not lost since February 2000.The game saw Angola clinch victory with a late goal in the 93rd minute, capitalising on a defensive error by Rayo Vallecano defender Abdul Mumin.Despite Ghana’s possession and efforts, they failed to convert their chances, with star players like Thomas Partey and Mohammed Kudus struggling to break down the Angolan defence.The result leaves Ghana at the bottom of Group E, alongside Niger, who also lost their opening game.With Sudan and Angola leading the group, Ghanas path to qualification for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations now looks more challenging.
