Ghana's Black Stars are on the brink of missing out on Africa Cup of Nations qualification for the first time in 20 years following a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Sudan at the Martyrs of Benina Stadium in Benghazi on Tuesday afternoon.
This result puts the Black Stars in a precarious position as they face an uphill battle to secure their place in the tournament in Morocco next year.
Ghana, in the first meeting against Sudan, had the upper hand but failed to convert their chances, and while luck may have played a part in Sudan's earlier draw in Accra, they came out firing in this encounter.
The North Africans were determined and tactically disciplined, seizing their opportunities with two quick goals in the second half that ultimately settled the contest.
