The goalkeeper learned of his father's death only after helping the Super Eagles secure AFCON qualification.

Ghana failed to reach the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time since 2004 after drawing with Angola 1-1 in qualifying on Friday.

It was not pretty, but Nigeria's Super Eagles did just enough to eke out the point that cemented their place at the 2025 African Cup of Nations, drawing 1-1 with Benin on Thursday.
