CAR coach “curses” Black Stars to AFCON doom after losing qualifier in Kumasi

Head coach of the Central African Republic Raoul Savoy says the Black Stars will be up for another humiliation when they take to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Black Stars secured a ticket to the competition to be staged in Ivory Coast following a 2-1 win over CAR at the Baba Yara Stadium on Thursday evening.

After Mohammed Kudus had equalised just before the break, the game seemed to heading for a draw till Antoine Semenyo and Ernest Nuamah combined to give the Black Stars the win.

The defeat also means CAR will have to wait another time to play at the continental showpiece as they finished third in Group E.

According to Savoy, the Black Stars were hugely favoured by the referee on the day and were handed so many privileges by the officials.

He believes Ghana could be in for another disaster if they take the performance on Thursday to Ivory Coast.

“Your next AFCON will be like the last one,” a trusted Savoy said as he left the press room at the Baba Yara Stadium.

The Black Stars were booted out in the group stage at the last AFCON in Cameroon after picking up just one point from their group.

Then playing under Milovan Rajevac, Ghan lost to Morocco in their opening game and drew against Gabon before suffering a defeat to Comoros.
