The result has left Ghana in 3rd place in the group with just 2 points, making their prospects of progressing to the next stage uncertain. Coach Chris Hughton took responsibility for the team's performance, acknowledging that the results have not met expectations. 

However, he refrained from resigning, possibly due to the slim chance that the Black Stars could still qualify for the knockout stage.
