The Black Stars of Ghana were held to a goalless draw by the Falcons of Sudan at the Accra Sports Stadium on October 10, 2024. Despite dominating the game from start to finish, the Stars couldn’t find the back of the net, squandering numerous scoring opportunities.
This result has eerily echoed the past, as the two nations previously clashed on October 10, 2010, in an Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier, which also ended goalless. This uncanny coincidence has sparked intrigue among football enthusiasts.
