At 3:00 Beijing time on January 19, the second round of the African Cup of Nations Group C, the 32-year-old Andre Ayo was expelled with a red card, Boakiye and Dikiku scored a goal to save the savior, Ghana was 2-3 by the Comoros, 3 winless and only scored 1 point, the first time in 16 years did not qualify for the knockout.
Ghana is 52nd in the world as four-time Africa Cup of Nations champions, with three Premier League stars, Thomas, Jordan Ayew and Andre Ayew, with a squad worth €128 million. But no one expected that Ghana's performance was a big surprise, the first two rounds were first killed by Morocco, and then by Gabon, the qualifying situation was worrying.
Against fish-belly side Comoros, Garner collapsed once again, losing 2-3 to the opponent. Ghana lost to the Comoros for the first time since their first meeting in 2015, suffering one of the most embarrassing defeats in nearly seven years.
In addition, Ghana has not won 3 consecutive games in this African Cup of Nations, only 1 point, and unfortunately finished at the bottom of the group. For the first time since 2006, Ghana missed the African Cup of Nations knockout round, setting a 16-year record of humiliation.
This 3-2 is of great significance to the Comoros, and the island team, which is only ranked 132nd in the world, not only won the first goal in the history of the African Cup of Nations, but also won the first victory, and the whole team celebrated. Unfortunately, the Comoros has suffered 2 consecutive defeats before, and the pit dug is too large to directly advance.
According to the rules of the African Cup of Nations, the 3rd place in the 4 best-scoring groups can also advance to the round of 16, which means that the Comoros is not desperate, but it depends on the performance of other opponents to determine their fate. But in any case, being able to win the cold on the former champion is enough to win the respect of the outside world. Considering that their population is only 870,000, it is even more shocking.
