Mohammed Kudus marked his AFCON debut with two goals, but the team's defensive lapses allowed Omar Marmoush and Mostafa Mohamed to capitalize and level the game. Hughton, however, opted not to dwell on individual mistakes, acknowledging them as part of the game.

"As a coach of a group of players, you feel frustrated because in performance...mistakes in the game are part of the game and you hope you make less mistakes than the other," he stated post-game. "Sometimes teams can make a lot of mistakes and the opposition doesn't capitalise on them. Unfortunately, through the mistakes we made today, the opposition was able to capitalise on them.

"But we have to accept [it's] part of the game. You have to try to limit the amount of errors or mistakes that you make. And of course, the team that limits it the most is a team that has a better chance of winning."

The result places the Black Stars at the bottom of Group B with just one match remaining. Ghana is set to face Mozambique on Monday, January 22.
