2021 Africa Cup of Nations: We were not good enough - Ghana striker Jordan Ayew tournament exit

Black Stars striker, Jordan Ayew has admitted that the team wasn’t good enough to compete after their exit from the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON].

Ghana exited from the group phase of the ongoing tournament in Cameroon.

The West African country suffered a defeat in their opening game against Morocco and a draw against Gabon.

The 10-man Black Stars team did manage to score twice in their final Group C match against Comoros but their defence let in three more which sealed their unfortunate fate.

Speaking after the game, Jordan Ayew, who leaves Cameroon without a single goal said the group stage exit was a wake-up call for the young squad and an experience they must learn from.

“We were not good enough, we have a young squad, it’s a wake-up call for everyone and if we don’t learn from this then I don’t know,” the Crystal Palace forward is quoted as having said by GTV Sports.

This was the first time the Stars have crashed out of an AFCON without a single win and the first time they’ve exited at the group stage since 2006.
