"The timing was wrong, but let us see what happens in the future," Asamoah Gyan remarked during the interview, adding that everyone has a different strategy to dealing with such possibilities.

Throughout his remarkable playing career, he represented Ghana in the 2006, 2010, and 2014 FIFA World Cups in Germany, South Africa, and Brazil, respectively, demonstrating his brilliance on a worldwide scale.

$Ghana opened the game wonderfully and appeared to have scored the first goal inside 20 minutes, but the referee disallowed it due to an infraction in the box. There were a few good chances for both sides in the first half, but it was Ghana who came near again via Abdul Hakim Sulemana but couldn't break the deadlock. Both sides went into the halftime with nothing separating them. Desmond Ofei's troops continued to dominate at the Accra Sports Stadium, taking the game to Uganda. The last piece remained the missing link for Ghana, who continued to press for the winner. Ofei's team made a breakthrough with only a few minutes remaining.$ $Ghana opened the game wonderfully and appeared to have scored the first goal inside 20 minutes, but the referee disallowed it due to an infraction in the box.

George Finidi's team maintained a one-goal lead at halftime and dominated the first 45 minutes. Otto Addo made tactical changes at the break, bringing on Tariq Lamptey and Ebenezer Annan, but the Black Stars were dealt a blow when Jerome Opoku was sent off 11 minutes into the second half. Despite producing good opportunities, Ghana failed to capitalise, whilst Nigeria took advantage in the 84th minute. Alex Iwobi selflessly assisted Atalanta's Ademola Lookman, who calmly doubled the Super Eagles' advantage from close range.

The Ghanaian played the entire game against Aston Villa at the London Stadium, but is alleged to have complained of soreness afterwards. The 23-year-old was not named as one of the players to travel on the international break on West Ham's website, so he will remain in London to recover. Kudus missed the opening game of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) against Cape Verde owing to a tight hamstring and was only considered fit for the Egypt and Mozambique games.

Otto Addo announced his selection over the weekend, but Amankwah is now likely to join the group in Morocco, where the midfield looks thin. Amankwah has yet to play for the Black Stars or the country's junior teams, although he was included to Chris Hughton's 55-man preliminary roster for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). The former WAFA player is one of the young prospects watched by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) in recent months, thus it comes as no surprise that he has been considered.

John Paintsil has 89 caps for the national team and brings both playing and coaching expertise to the table. Paintsil's experience playing for Fulham, West Ham United, and Kaizer Chiefs makes his understanding of the game essential. Furthermore, his coaching experience at Kaizer Chiefs and holding of a CAF Licence B demonstrate his suitability for this post. Fatau Dauda, known for his goalkeeping abilities, has represented Ghana 23 times and played a key role in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Dauda's experience as a former custodian, which has included stops at Voradep, Okwahu United, AshantiGold, and Orlando Pirates, is considered to be critical in improving the team's defensive qualities.

Mr. Dafeamekpor, a member of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), indicated that Gyan's alleged purposeful miss was motivated by his political affiliation with the New Patriotic Party. Speaking to Radio XYZ, Dafeamekpor stated, "I feel Asamoah Gyan purposefully wasted that penalty since it was during the NDC's regime. It is now evident to me that he missed the penalty in the 2010 World Cup and the African Cup on purpose so that the NDC administration would not earn recognition."
