Beleaguered Black Stars coach C.K Akonnor has come under serious pressure following Ghana's 1-0 defeat to the Bafana Bafana of South Africa on Monday evening.

The Ghana Black Stars lost their second game of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers against the Bafana Bafana of South Africa on Monday evening.

Ghana had a single shot on target the entire game with the closest Ghana went near the goalkeeper William's goal was when Joel Fameyeh was tripped when he was through on goal.

The resulting free kick was fiercely struck by Wakaso Mubarak but the goalkeeper held firm without any trouble.

Ghana came up a bit better in the second half but it was the Bafana Bafana who made it count as in the 83rd minute as Maritzburg United striker Bongokuhle Hlongwane cushioned a cross into the far corner to open the scores for South Africa.

Since the defeat many Ghanaians have called for the head of the tactically inapt C.K Akonnor but his former Black Stars teammate and former player Yaw Preko has called for patience.

He says that Akonnor is a top coach who deserves to take charge of the Black Stars and just needs the support of the entire nation.

“He [CK Akonnor] is a fine coach and I think he has what it takes to coach the Black Stars,” he told Asempa FM.

“He needs the support of the entire country to succeed because he is the person in charge of the team.

“CK Akonnor has proven he can coach the team because if you look at his style of play, it tells you he wants to implement something and I think with the support and belief, he can do it for us,” he added.
