Following the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, Central African Republic’s Head Coach, Raoul Savoy, expressed his apprehensions regarding Ghana’s performance and anticipated challenges for the Black Stars in the upcoming tournament.
The Black Stars solidified their place in the competition, scheduled to take place in Ivory Coast, by securing a 2-1 victory over CAR at the Baba Yara Stadium on Thursday.
A crucial equalizer by Mohammed Kudus just before halftime set the stage for a closely contested match. However, it was Antoine Semenyo and Ernest Nuamah who ultimately secured the win for the Black Stars.

Unfortunately for CAR, this loss means they will have to wait for another opportunity to compete in the continental showpiece, as they finished third in Group E.
While reflecting on the match, Savoy expressed his belief that the Black Stars received favorable treatment from the referee and were granted numerous privileges by the officials.
He cautioned that if Ghana replicates the performance displayed on Thursday in Ivory Coast, they could encounter another potential setback.
Speaking to reporters in the press room at the Baba Yara Stadium, Savoy issued a warning, stating, “Your next AFCON will be similar to the last one.”

In the previous AFCON held in Cameroon, the Black Stars, managed by Milovan Rajevac, were eliminated in the group stage.
They secured just one point in their group, suffering a loss to Morocco in their opening match, followed by a draw against Gabon, and ultimately succumbing to a defeat against Comoros.
