One member of the Ghanaian supporter in Abidjan has been arrested for an attack on coach Chris Hughton at the team’s hotel.
It took the intervention of some Ghanaian diplomats who were around to save the coach from the attack.
The unidentified man has been handed to the Ivorian Police.
Cape Verde Beats Ghana
The Blue Sharks of Cape Verde stunned the Black Stars of Ghana 2-1 at the Stade Félix Houphouët-Boigny on Sunday night.
Cape Verde seized the initiative early, capitalizing on a mistake by Richard Ofori. The Ghanaian goalkeeper parried a weak shot into the path of Jamiro Monteiro, who tapped into an empty net for the opening goal.
Ghana thought they had equalized through Majeed Ashimeru, but his long-range strike was controversially disallowed for offside after Ransford-Yeboah was adjudged to have obstructed the goalkeeper’s view.
Despite the setback, Ghana pushed for an equalizer in the second half and found it through Alexander Djiku’s towering header from a Jordan Ayew cross.
