Frustrated Ghanaians hurled bottles onto the pitch after the Black Stars’ 1-0 loss to Angola in their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier at the Baba Yara Stadium.
The home crowd’s anger peaked after Angola’s Milson scored a late goal in the 93rd minute, ending Ghana’s long-standing unbeaten record in Kumasi.
The situation was worsened by the poor condition of the pitch, which had already raised concerns about its effect on the players’ performances.
Despite controlling possession, Ghana struggled to create clear scoring opportunities, with attempts from Jordan Ayew and Mohammed Kudus being blocked.
A defensive error by Abdul Mumin allowed Angola to capitalize and secure the victory, igniting the fans’ fury.
The loss was Ghana’s first defeat in Kumasi since 2000, a significant setback as the Black Stars’ 2025 AFCON qualifying campaign began on a disappointing note.
They will aim to rebound in their second match against Niger on Monday.
