In a video that has since gone viral on social media, the Leicester City forward had to be held back by his teammates and some officials after he and Ati Zigi got into a heated argument.
It is believed that the fight continued in the dressing room before nerves were calmed later on by the management of the team.
The result from the match against Sudan at the Martyrs February Stadium in Libya leaves Ghana third in Group F after four games.
The Black Stars will next face Angola in Luanda before engaging Niger in Accra in the last two matches of the qualifiers.
Ghana's AFCON fade hangs by a thread
For the first time in 20 years, Ghana could miss the Africa Cup of Nations following the defeat to Sudan on Tuesday.
The Black Stars have picked only two points from four games and trail second-placed North Africans by five points, per ESPN.
Sudan needs only one point, while Ghana needs to win the rest of its games and hopes the Falcons lose all remaining games.
