Ghana held by Namibia in pre AFCON friendly in kumasi.



Ghana played a  goalless draw against Namibia in their concluding friendly match on Monday in Kumasi.

The match, hosted at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi, disappointed spectators, leading to doubts about the team’s potential to progress significantly in the tournament.

This outcome indicates that Ghana has secured only one victory in five matches under the leadership of coach Chris Hughton, experiencing losses against teams like Mexico, USA, and Comoros, while their sole triumph came against Madagascar.

The goalless draw against Namibia alarmed Ghana supporters, marking the fifth instance under Hughton’s tenure where the team failed to find the net.

Despite Hughton implementing some commendable adjustments in the latter half, Namibia succeeded in securing a draw, leaving the local fans less than thrilled.

As the team grapples with maintaining high-intensity gameplay, apprehensions mount in anticipation of their Group B opener against Cape Verde on January 14.
