The Black stars of Ghana, among the five African countries in Qatar 2022 were the first to score, with two goals from Andre Ayew who found the back of the net from Muhammed Qudus’ assist and a goal from substituted Osman Bukari.
The Ghanaian lost to Portugal after Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal from the spot in the 65th minute, Joao Felix’s 78th-minute strike, and Rafael Leao’s in the 80th minute.
On the other hand, The Indomitable Lions of Cameroon became the latest African casualty at the global soccer fiesta, losing 1-0 to European side Switzerland in a Group G tie on Thursday.
Although for the first time, all African nations are being coached by home-grown gaffers, the results are so far not going the continent’s way until Ghana came into the picture.
