Disclosing that he drove five hours just to watch the match, the man was seen standing beside the Sports Minister, shouting and complaining about the Ghana Football Association (GFA).

"The GFA is worrying us. I drove five hours just to be here. Honourable, you people are playing with the hearts of Ghanaians," he said angrily.

"It is not only Baba Rahman's fault. There were defenders and a goalkeeper when the ball was crossed, but they failed to mark the player, and he scored."

Xpeerience opined:

"Baba cannot be dropped because they have spent the money he paid to join the team. Kurt must go."

User1 indicated:

"Sports Minister dier... hmmm. Baba has no desire to play for the Black Stars. Nii Lantey wouldn't have supported Baba's return. Now all Ghanaians have seen him."

The General added:

"The minister should hear the voice of the fans and stop making excuses."

@Opidarling added:

"Gideon was also not at his best, but he was able to recover and, moreover, his error never led to a goal."
