Alexander Djiku expresses deep remorse after Ghana’s AFCON exit
Black Stars defender, Alexander Djiku has expressed his deepest remorse after Ghana’s early exit from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Djiku, who scored Ghana’s first goal in the tournament and won the Man of the Match award in the game against Cape Verde, took to X (Twitter) to convey his regret after the disappointing elimination of the Black Stars from the tournament.
In his tweet, Djiku wrote, “Words will certainly not be enough to erase the disillusionment. ??? We are disappointed and very sorry for our Ghanaian people that we have failed at this stage of the competition, but if you only knew how grateful we are to have been supported by you, our Ghanaian fans. ❤️??”
Ghana needed to keep it tight at the back against Mozambique, as they had gone into a fortuitous two-goal lead that had a lot to do with luck rather than any quality football.
With barely five minutes to end the match, the Mozambicans scored two goals to end Ghana’s participation at the biennial football showpiece.
It is the second time the Black Stars have suffered elimination at the group stage of the African Cup of Nations tournament.
Words will certainly not be enough to erase the disillusionment.???
