Angola secured a 1-0 victory against Ghana in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers in a tense match played at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi today. The game kicked off at 4 p.m., with both teams fighting for dominance over 90 minutes. However, it was in the final moments that Ghana’s defense faltered, allowing Angola to score the decisive goal.
The winning goal came in the 93rd minute, courtesy of Angolan forward Felicio Milson. Despite Ghana’s efforts to equalize during the five minutes of additional time, the Black Stars were unable to break through Angola’s solid defense, ending the match with a 1-0 defeat.
This loss is a significant setback for Ghana, as the Black Stars have traditionally held the upper hand in their football encounters with Angola. Over the years, the two nations have met several times in both competitive and friendly matches, with Ghana generally emerging victorious. However, Angola has been improving steadily in recent years, making this win a crucial moment for the Palancas Negras in their AFCON campaign.
The defeat puts pressure on Ghana’s team to regroup and perform better in their upcoming qualifiers to secure a place in the 2025 AFCON tournament.
