Ghana continued its poor results in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, suffering a painful home defeat against Gambia with a score of 4-2 in Matchday 2.
The match was held at Accra Stadium and saw Ghana take a 2-0 lead, but the visitors overturned the result by scoring four consecutive goals, handing Ghana their second straight defeat.
Ghana has not achieved any victory in its last 8 matches in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, having lost three times and drawn three in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers, which resulted in failure to qualify for the previous edition, in addition to two losses in the current qualifiers.
The Black Stars' last win in the qualifiers came in September 2023 against Central African Republic during the 2023 edition qualifiers, which were played in January 2024 in Côte d'Ivoire.
Carlos Queiroz's squad sits at the bottom of the group standings without points after two defeats, trailing Somalia on goal difference as they prepare to face Côte d'Ivoire.
Meanwhile, Gambia tops the standings with 6 points, three points ahead of the Elephants.
