Many took to social media to express their disappointment following the Black Stars’ elimination from the continental showpiece
It was all pain and anguish for Ghana as they crashed out of the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt following a penalty shootout defeat to Tunisia in the Round of 16 on Monday.
Following a 1-1 draw after extra-time, the game was forced into penalties, which ultimately ended 5-4 in favour of the Carthage Eagles after Caleb Ekuban missed his kick.
The defeat does not only dismiss Ghana’s hopes of winning a fifth continental title in Egypt, but prolongs their wait for the trophy to what will be 39 years at Cameroon 2021.
Unsurprisingly, many took to social media to share their disappointment.
Wakaso genuinely weeping in the press conference, couldn’t hold back the tears as he received his Man of the Match award – the first time I’ve ever seen that reaction from a player ever. pic.twitter.com/rLo2nZ62at

Never thought we were going to win. But never thought it would end this way.
In the end the #BlackStars didn’t do enough to go through.#tv3Afcon

Presidential Project fall flatttttt
Let’s look for people and blame. Someone must be at fault for this woeful output in AFCON since 2006.

But we had so many chances at goal though. I am confused. #ekuban must hv seen something standing in the goal post before kicking the penalty maybe his village people showed up, he just handed keeper the ball 🤔😂🤔🤣😭😭😭🤔🤔🤔 #blackstars #afcon2019 #afcon
