Some Ghanaian football fans expressed their frustration by throwing bottles onto the pitch following the Black Stars’ 1-0 defeat to Angola in their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier at the Baba Yara Stadium.

The senior national team were stunned with Milson's late strike to end the team's 24-year unbeaten run.

After the game, the home crowd was left fuming and started throwing objects on the pitch.

The poor state of the pitch only worsened matters, as fans had already voiced concerns about its impact on the players’ performances.

Despite dominating possession, Ghana struggled to create clear chances, with Jordan Ayew and Mohammed Kudus both seeing efforts blocked.

Angola capitalised on a defensive mistake by Abdul Mumin to secure the win, sparking anger among the disappointed fans.

The loss marked Ghana’s first defeat in Kumasi since 2000, a bitter blow as the Black Stars’ 2025 AFCON qualifying campaign got off to a poor start.

The Black Stars will now prepare to take on Niger in their second Group F game on Monday, September 9 in Berkane.

Otto Addo and his men will aim to record their first win after the shocking defeat at home.
