Ghana forward Jordan Ayew and goalkeeper Lawrence Ati Zigi were reportedly involved in a heated altercation after the defeat to Sudan on Tuesday (October 15).

The Black Stars lost 2-0 to the Falcons of Sudan and are now on the brink of missing the main Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament in Morocco next year.

The defeat in the second-leg qualifier game left tempers flaring at the end of the match with the experienced forward reportedly displaying his frustration.

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.

Kudus apologises to Ghanaians after loss

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Mohammed Kudus has apologised to Ghanaians after the Black Stars' stuttering display against Sudan in the two-legged AFCON qualifiers in October.

The four-time African champions are on the verge of missing the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco after picking just a point in two matches against the North Africans.

Sudan, led by Ghana legend Kwesi Appiah, held the Black Stars to a goalless draw in Accra before defeating them 2-0 at the Martyrs February Stadium in Libya.
