Captain of the Black Stars, Andre Ayew has apologized to all Ghanaians for the heartbreak of not qualifying to the next stage of the African Cup of Nations in Cameroon.

"I think we need to learn from this, we need to go back to the drawing board as the players move ahead," the 32-year-old said after the game.

"We have to take criticism, apologise to the fans for not qualifying for the next round. We are disappointed because this is not Ghana.

"I think if you guys know me, I leave to fight another day. We are going to work hard and we are going to be back."he added.
