Afriyie Acquah urges Ghanaians to keep faith with Black Stars despite AFCON failure

Black Stars midfielder Afriyie Acquah has pleaded with Ghanaians to keep faith with the national team despite their disappointing performance at the just-ended Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

Ghana was booted out of the competition after losing 5-4 on penalties to Tunisia in the Round of 16 stages after playing out a 1-1 draw in 120 minutes.

The last 16 eviction is the country’s worst performance in the continental showpiece since 2006.

“We did our best and wanted to win the Cup but we all know in football you either win, lose or draw,” Acquah told Zylofon TV.

“We did our best but we were unfortunate so we will just give thanks to God.

“It’s not too late; we are young, so Ghanaians should give us another two years to win the tournament,” the Empoli player stated.

Ghana will be hoping to make amends at the next championship in Cameroon in 2021.
