Sudan Victory Celebrations Amid War – How Appiah Brought Joy.

Following Ghana’s unexpected 2-0 loss to Sudan in their AFCON qualifiers, football pundit Kwame Opare Addo has weighed in on the defeat.

He pointed out that Ghana's coaching staff failed to adjust tactics in response to Sudan’s playstyle, particularly in the second half.
