Any result other than a win in Libya in the second leg against Sudan will tremendously affect Ghana's chances of reaching the tournament in Morocco next year.

Addo admitted after Thursday's game that the team's finishing was missing despite an improved display.

"Surely, we will try to train on finishing and give them confidence, that's all. This was the only thing which was missing," he said during the post-match presser, as quoted by the Ghana FA.

"The spirit was good, the passion was there, the defensive discipline was there, they're just about to finish the action, that's all. Sudan was very lucky today. Next time we see them in Libya, they won't be lucky, then we will, that's all," he added.

The four-time African champions needs a win to hand their qualification chances a huge boost.

The Black Stars have not missed the Africa Cup of Nations since 2006. They will face Sudan on Tuesday, October 15, 2024, per ESPN.

Williams and Kudus miss glorious chances

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Black Stars captain Mohammed Kudus and forward Inaki Williams were culpable of missing the best chances in Ghana's game against Sudan on Thursday in Accra in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

The Black Stars were left frustrated after spurning several chances as Sudan picked a vital point on the road to leave the four-time African champions in danger of missing the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

In a video shared on social media, Williams had failed to connect a cross from Seidu before the ball fell to Kudus, who missed with only the goalkeeper to beat.
