<p>Otto Addo’s side drew with the Falcons of Jediane last Thursday at the Accra Sports Stadium, in a game where they missed several chances.</p>

<p>While the Black Stars were still slight favourites ahead of the reverse fixture, they were pleasantly surprised by the hosts at a neutral ground in Libya.</p>

<p>Second-half goals from Ahmed Hamed Mohamed and Mohamed Abdelrahman Yagoub were enough to hand Sudan an important victory.</p>

<p>Otto Addo made one change to the team that started against the Falcons of Jediane last week, with Inaki Williams coming on for Jordan Ayew.</p>

<h2>Black Stars on the brink of elimination </h2>

<p>Ghana made a bright start to the game and mounted pressure on Sudan, but were unable to carve out any clear-cut chances.</p>

<p>The Black Stars ultimately ended the game with just one shot on target, as Kwasi Appiah’s side went ahead to claim all three points.</p>

<p>The defeat leaves Ghana with just two points from four matches in Group F of the AFCON qualifiers, while Angola and Sudan have nine and seven points respectively.</p>

<p>This means Angola have now qualified for next year’s AFCON, while Sudan need just a draw from their next two matches to also book their place at the tournament.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Ghana now risks missing out on AFCON qualification for the first time since 2004 following their damaging defeat to Sudan.</p>

<p>On social media, some Ghanaians have vented their anger at the team’s loss, with many taking to X to express their views.</p>
