Fan View: ‘Useless without Asamoah Gyan’ – How Ghana reacted to win over Ethiopia

Thousands of people took to social media to share their disappointment with the Black Stars' performance against the Walias

Ghana had sealed a 1-0 victory against Ethiopia in their 2022 World Cup opener but their fans were far from impressed by their performance in the Group G fixture on Friday.

In their opening game of the qualifiers for the global showpiece, Mubarak Wakaso’s first-half goal, which had more to do with sloppy goalkeeping, ensured a narrow win for the hosts in Cape Coast.

The 2010 tournament quarter-finalists were without the injured duo of Arsenal’s Thomas Partey and Ajax’s Mohammed Kudus on the day, a probable reason for their struggle to take control of the game, particularly in the second half.
