Black Stars forward Antoine Semenyo isn’t sweating too much about the chances he missed in a friendly game against arch rival Nigeria.
Ghana lost 2-1 to Nigeria in the first of two friendly games for the Black Stars following the team’s disappointing exit from the 2023 AFCON group stage without a win.
Semenyo had a couple of big chances to score and get Ghana back on level with Nigeria at the time Ghana trailed 1-0 to a Cyril Dessers goal off a penalty kick.
In his interview, the AFC Bournemouth player noted that missing chances are part of football especially as a forward but hopes he can rectify it.
“It happens. As a striker, you miss chances, you score chances but today wasn’t my day so I’ll look back at the chances and hopefully in the next game, I can score them.”
Semenyo has been in fine form for Bournemouth drawing praise from manager Andoni Iraola in the English Premier League second half of the season. (Click highlighted text to read full story)
He did win the penalty Jordan Ayew slotted home for a consolation goal against Nigeria.
