Goalkeeper Damba on Ghana's penalty heartache in tournaments

Former Ghana shot-stopper Abukari Damba has termed the nation's penalty shoot-out woes as a perennial problem following their recent setback at the Wafu Cup of Nations.

Yet another time, the West Africans fell in a shoot-out at a major international tournament, this time going down 3-1 to hosts Senegal in the final of the championship on Sunday.

“I will not term it [consistent woes] as a problem. It’s a perennial challenge and we admit that historically we’ve not done well. A penalty shoot-out in itself should be an integral part of every training session," Damba told Ghanaweb.
