In the aftermath of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, Central African Republic’s Head Coach, Raoul Savoy, voiced his concerns about Ghana’s performance, predicting potential difficulties for theĀ Black StarsĀ in the upcoming tournament.
TheĀ Black StarsĀ secured their spot in the competition, set to be held in Ivory Coast, after clinching a 2-1 victory over CAR at the Baba Yara Stadium on Thursday.
A crucial equalizer from Mohammed Kudus just before half-time set the stage for a closely contested match. However, it was Antoine Semenyo and Ernest Nuamah who ultimately sealed the win for theĀ Black Stars.
Regrettably for CAR, this defeat means they will have to wait for another opportunity to compete in the continental showpiece, having finished third in Group E.
Savoy, while reflecting on the match, expressed his belief that theĀ Black StarsĀ received favorable treatment from the referee and were granted numerous privileges by the officials.
He cautioned that if Ghana replicates the performance displayed on Thursday in Ivory Coast, they could face another potential setback.
Addressing reporters in the press room at the Baba Yara Stadium, Savoy left a warning, stating, “Your next AFCON will be like the last one.”
In the previous AFCON held in Cameroon, theĀ Black Stars, under the management of Milovan Rajevac, were eliminated in the group stage.
They secured just one point in their group, suffering a loss to Morocco in their opening match, followed by a draw against Gabon, and ultimately falling to a defeat against Comoros.
