2022 World Cup qualifiers: Ghana coach Akonnor suggests where things went wrong against South Africa

The Black Stars boss reflects on Monday's Group G matchday two away encounter against Bafana Bafana

Ghana coach CK Akonnor believes his team was let down by a poor second-half performance in their 1-0 away defeat to South Africa in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers on Monday.

During the trip to the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, the Black Stars were stung by a Bongokuhle Hlongwane strike seven minutes to full-time, condemning them to a first defeat of the qualifying series.

The loss has dropped Ghana to second position on Group G’s table after matchday two’s round of action, pending the match between Ethiopia and Zimbabwe on Tuesday afternoon.
