2025 AFCONQ: We deserved to win – Pained, disappointed Otto Addo after goalless draw with Sudan

Ghana’s head coach, Otto Addo, has expressed his disappointment following the Black Stars’ goalless draw against Sudan in the qualifiers for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

The match, held at the Accra Sports Stadium on Thursday, marked the first leg of their doubleheader qualifier against the Falcons.

Although the Black Stars dominated possession and created several opportunities, they failed to convert any chances into goals, placing the four-time African champions in a difficult situation.

During the post-match press conference, the 45-year-old coach openly shared his frustration regarding the team’s performance.

“The chances were there today, but this is football,” he said.

“This result even pains more than the results against Niger and Angola because I think we deserve to win but I am disappointed,” he added.

Ghana’s next challenge will be against Libya in the return leg on Monday, October 14, at the Martyrs of February Stadium. A victory in this match is essential for enhancing their chances of qualifying for the tournament set to be held in Morocco.

Currently, the Black Stars find themselves in third place in Group F, having accumulated only two points from three matches.
