I’m proud of Black Stars performance – Akufo-Addo on Ghana’s defeat to Portugal

The Black Stars of Ghana received congratulations from President Akufo-Addo after their World Cup debut against Portugal.

After the game, he praised the team’s efforts in a Facebook post, calling it a “gutsy performance.”

He claimed that despite the team’s inability to score the requisite points, they nevertheless showed their mettle and demonstrated their capacity to overcome any other challenge.

On that point, he asked Ghanaians to support the Black Stars, reiterating his belief that Ghana can advance to the competition’s next round.

“The Black Stars gave a brave showing against Portugal tonight. I’m so happy for the whole team. They have demonstrated that they are capable of blending it and living to fight another day.

“Looking forward to the next game against South Korea, and I urge all Ghanaians to rally strongly behind the team. I am confident we can qualify from this group. #GoBlackStarsGo”, he added.

The Black Stars’ performance against Portugal in their initial Group H matchup has been praised by many as being “spirited.”

However, the Portuguese managed to win by a slim margin of three goals to two after the whole 90 minutes.

Some football fans and analysts claimed that Ismail Elfath, a US referee, was biased, which contributed to the Europeans’ triumph. Elfath has since come under fire for his “bad officiating.”
