Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo is among the top-notch forwards in the English Premier League.
The 25-year-old Ghanaian has been given consistent performances at Bournemouth, which has helped him earn many admirers.
The story is different when he wears Ghana’s famous yellow jersey.
He finds it difficult to replicate the Bournemouth performances, and it is now a major concern for Ghanaians, asking what exactly could be the problem.
Kamaldeen Sulemana replaced Semenyo in the 72nd minute when Ghana was leading by 1-0.
“Antoine Semenyo did well, you can’t directly compare Premier League performances to African qualifiers”, Otto Addo told the press.
Semenyo missed a huge opportunity to put Ghana in front on the stroke of half-time.
Many fans were disappointed because either forward would have put the ball in the back of the net if he were in Bournemouth’s colours.
“Mali put pressure on us but didn’t create any real chances”, Otto Addo praised the Malians.
Mali took full control of the game soon after Djiku’s controversial strike earlier in the second half.
The Eagles are mathematically out, and it is now a straight fight between Ghana, Madagascar and Comoros for the sole slot.
Ghana has opened a three-point gap over second-placed team Madagascar and will hope to win four points from their last two games to qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
