After a gruelling trip, the Black Stars touched down in Angola on Wednesday night for their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier.

The beleaguered Ghana stars popped out of their flight, looking dejected as thoughts of "it's over" ran down their minds.

Before Ghana travelled to Angola, the standings in Group F did not make for good reading, with the last qualification spot being occupied by Sudan, who were facing the whipping boys of the group, Niger, 24hrs before Ghana play Angola.

However, the final whistle on the eve of Ghana's clash against Angola gave the crestfallen Black Stars players a new lease of life and belief, at least for another week.
