EXTRA-TIME: Heartbreak! Ghana reacts to Afcon 2019 exit after penalty heartache

It was all pain and anguish for Ghana as they crashed out of the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt following a penalty shootout defeat to Tunisia in the Round of 16 on Monday.

Following a 1-1 draw after extra-time, the game was forced into penalties, which ultimately ended 5-4 in favour of the Carthage Eagles after Caleb Ekuban missed his kick.

The defeat does not only dismiss Ghana's hopes of winning a fifth continental title in Egypt, but prolongs their wait for the trophy to what will be 39 years at Cameroon 2021.
