Ghana’s Black Galaxies head Coach Annor Walker couldn’t hide his disappointment after Saturday’s 2-0 loss to Niger in the quarter final at the TotalEnergies African Nations Championship (CHAN) 2022.

“I am really down. I never expected to lose this match. Even at 2-0 down, we failed to score even just one goal. It is a very big blow for us as a team.

“The Nigeriens were taking the 50/50 balls. They were determined. You could see that they were determined to win this match at all costs and when they got an early goal, it gave them more determination and, on our side, it demoralised us” Annor lamented at the post-match press conference.

The result leaves Ghana out of the competition with Niger advancing to the semi-final stage.

Niger will face hosts Algeria in the last four of the ongoing CHAN 2023 Competition.
