Ghana have become the laughing stock of rival fans on social, following their elimination from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Black Stars threw away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Mozambique in their final Group B.
Jordan Ayew tucked away two penalties in each half to give the West Africans hope of qualification.
Then, three minutes later, Reinildo made amends for his earlier mistake as he headed Shaquille Momad Nangy’s corner into the goal to complete a dramatic capitulation for Chris Hughton’s side.
They effectively exit the tournament with two points from three games and minus one goal difference, but await the fate of other third-placed sides to have that confirmed.
It led to mockery on Twitter:
@FaruqBashar: Mozambique said: “I know I’m going home, but i’m Ghana take you with me”
@CasaDupre: Mozambique are still going home I’m cryinggggg they just wanted Ghana to join them on the flight and split the bill
@Omojuwa: Cape Verde with their second team held a desperate Egypt 2-2. The real story is Ghana who threw 2 goals away after the 90th minute. Ghana football’s got big issues to solve. They’d need more than a drawing board.
Because they are now effectively football minnows!
@UTDTrey: Ghana 5 goals, going home.
Nigeria 3 goals, Knockout stages.
Work smarter, not harder.
@lollypeezle: Ghana didn’t win a match throughout their time in the tournament 😂😂😂
Jollof, Zero
Music, Zero
Football, Zero
Our president is even better than theirs. What a life 💃
@PoojaMedia: I think Ghana’s govt should get traditional beaters with local wires at the arrival gate when the team lands in Accra & they start wiping them or get long android chords for their necks.
Feeling like a Real Madrid team but they are just Sporting Lagos 🤪
