World Cup 2022: The fight is not over – Ghana defender Alexander Djiku after defeat to Portugal

Published on: 24 November 2022

Black Stars defender Alexander Djiku has reacted to Ghana’s defeat against Portugal in the 2022 World Cup opener.

Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player in World Cup history to score five times, with his second-half penalty giving Portugal the lead.

Ghana's Andre Ayew then equalized, but two goals in three minutes from Joao Felix and Rafael Leao secured the victory and moved Portugal to the top of Group H, despite Osman Bukari's late winner.

In a post sighted by Footballghana.com, the Strasbourg defender expressed all is not lost for the Black Stars after defeat to the 2016 European Champions.

“The fight is not over; We've shown that we never give up. Thank you to our fans for your support, See you on Monday” he tweeted.

Defeat means Ghana are bottom of Group H after Uruguay and South Korea played out a goalless draw earlier on Thursday.

The Black Stars will now turn their attention to their upcoming matches against South Korea and Uruguay on November 28 and December 2, respectively.
