The Black Stars of Ghana were held by minnows Madagascar to a 0-0 in an AFCON 2023 Group E qualifier.
The game at the Mahamasina Stadium saw the Black Stars failing to live up to expectation. Sportsworldghana.com takes a look at how the players fated.
ATI Zigi 6
Was not troubled much in-between the sticks except for some scaring attacks launched by Malagasy danger man Dorian Bertrand
Denis Odoi 6
Made some timely tackles and moved forward a bit with surging runs to join the attack
Patrick Kpozo 6
Great debut for the Moldova based defender though he could further improve
Joseph Aidoo 6
Was efficient at the back with his defensive partner Amartey though they were caught off guard couple of times
Daniel Amartey 6
Put up a normal display, the telepathy with Aidoo is yet to work
Samed Salis 7
Marshalled the midfield and protected the back four well.
Thomas Party
With the exception of one shot on target, all he did was to break and pass
Kamaldeen Sulemana 7
Was lively with his runs down the flanks, the Southampton player was unlucky not to have scored as he had one effort which missed target narrowly
Joseph Paintsil 7
Had a great outing with his ability to take the ball and run at opponents
Jordan Ayew 7
Missed a glorious chance in the early stages but in all his performance was good.
Andre Ayew 7
Was the main star of the team in the first half but got tired in the second half as the game progressed
