AFCON 2021: Ghana tastes defeat in opener against Morocco

By Henrycobblah

The Black Stars of Ghana lost their opening game at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) as they were beaten by Morocco.

Ghana were aiming to start on a bright note and were able to contain the threat of Morocco in a dull first half.

The second half came to live as Ghana had their first effort on target in the 70th minute.

It’s was Morocco that had the last laugh after a defensive error allowed Sofiane Boufal to slot home from close range.

Ghana threw on players to try and salvage a point but that proved futile as the game ended 1-0 in favour of the North Africans.

Ghana’s next game is against Gabon.
