Augustine ArhinfulFormer Ghana striker Augustine Arhinful has voiced his disappointment with Black Stars coach Otto Addo’s substitutions throughout Ghanas 1-1 draw in opposition to Niger within the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.Arhinful particularly questioned the choice to exchange Majeed Ashimeru with Elisha Owusu when the Black Stars have been main by a single aim.He believes that Owusus introduction had little influence on the sport and steered that Addo may have delayed the defensive substitution till the closing minutes.”When Ashimeru was leaving the sport, I instructed my brother I dont know why he [Addo] was bringing Owusu on at that time. Let’s ask ourselves, what did Owusu do when he got here on? You may convey him on with two or three minutes left,” Arhinful stated in an interview with Peace FM.Ghana had initially taken the lead by way of Alidu Seidu, with an help from Mohammed Kudus, however Niger equalised later by way of defender Oumar Sako.Arhinful added, “We have been dominating possession, however what was the ultimate consequence? Had been we simply defending a one-goal lead? The group sat too deep, and Im undecided what directions got to Owusu and Partey. They should assess and enhance.”Ghana now turns its focus to their subsequent qualifier in opposition to Sudan in October, as they proceed to hunt their first win within the AFCON qualifiers.
