The Black Stars failed to win their second successive 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Monday, September 9, 2024.
Niger scored late to hold Ghana to a 1-1 draw at the Municipal Stadium in Morocco.
The draw follows an earlier 1-0 defeat to Angola at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.
Here’s how each player is rated out of 10:
Lawrence Ati-Zigi – 3
The St. Gallen man failed to organize his players during a corner situation, which eventually resulted in the scrappy goal.
Alidu Seidu – 6
Seidu performed adequately as a left-back and took the initiative to shoot, resulting in Ghana taking the lead. It was his first goal for Ghana.
Tariq Lamptey – 4
The right-back showed some bravery and made important challenges, which was unexpected given his limited playing time this season.
Mohammed Salisu – 5
The Monaco central defender took responsibility for the back line and was commanding throughout the game.
Abdul Mumin – 3.5
Mumin delivered an average performance, similar to the entire team, and engaged in challenges as he usually does.
Thomas Partey – 4
The captain was okay but did not provide enough leadership to inspire his team to victory.
Majeed Ashimeru – 4
Ashimeru did not impact the game as much as the coach would have hoped and was substituted after 70 minutes.
Abdul Fatawu Issahaku – 3
Struggled to create anything meaningful throughout his time on the pitch.
Antoine Semenyo – 3
The Bournemouth player struggled to carry the ball effectively and misplaced several passes.
Mohammed Kudus – 4.5
The West Ham winger created the goal but failed in most of his dribbling attempts, as he was often crowded by opponents.
Inaki Williams – 3
Williams had some through balls, including one he should have converted before Alidu Seidu’s goal.
Subs
Jordan Ayew – N/A
Elisha Owusu – N/A
