Ghana, who were looking for a late goal, couldn’t break through Sudan’s strong defense and the match ended in a scoreless draw.
Baidoo received a last-minute call-up to the national team after several players, including the captain, dropped out. Although he entered the game late, Baidoo demonstrated potential, contributing offensively and helping Ghana create scoring opportunities in the closing moments of the match.
