I have never seen a Black Stars performance as poor as against The Gambia – Nii Lante Vanderpuye

Former Sports Minister Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuye has expressed his strong dissatisfaction with Ghana's performance in their recent 4-2 defeat against The Gambia in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers. Speaking on Joy FM, Vanderpuye stated that he has never witnessed a Black Stars match as poor as the one against The Gambia during his years of following the team in various capacities.

Ghana had previously suffered a 2-0 defeat by Ivory Coast before this match, leaving them without a point from their first two matches. The Black Stars had appeared to be in control after leading 2-0, but they collapsed in the second half, allowing The Gambia to score four goals for a dramatic turnaround. The result has left Ghana at the bottom of Group C without any points, putting additional pressure on coach Carlos Queiroz and his team.

Ghana will have another chance to improve their qualification prospects in October when they face Somalia in a double-header at the Accra Sports Stadium.
