Sudan’s head coach, Kwesi Appiah, harbors conflicting feelings following his team’s 2-0 win against Ghana in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
The game took place at Martyrs of February Stadium in Benghazi, Libya where the Falcons of Jediane secured a definitive victory, greatly improving their qualifying prospects. Appiah, a previous coach of Ghana’s national team, recognized the mixed emotions surrounding the result.
“He expressed his sorrow for Ghana,” he stated. “They possess a formidable team, however, in competition, only one can progress.” “I am pleased that we have been able to bring happiness to the Sudanese people.”
“Ghana’s loss places them in a challenging position, currently in third place in Group F with just two points from four games.”
This outcome places the Black Stars in jeopardy of failing to qualify for the AFCON for the first time in twenty years. Sudan’s recent win has improved their position in the qualification race. Ghana will have crucial matches against Niger and Angola during the upcoming November international break, with their qualification chances uncertain.
