Africa’s five representatives at the ongoing FIFA 2022 World Cup in Qatar have failed to record a win in their opening matches.
Senegal led the pack with a 2-0 loss to Netherlands in Group A, then came Carthage Eagles of Tunisia in group D who played out a goalless draw against Denmark. The Atlas Lions of Morroco shared the spoils with Croatia in Group F, as Africa’s hopes shifted to Cameroon and Ghana.
The Indomitable Lions of Cameroon however continued the goal drought as they lost 1-0 to Switzerland courtesy of a Camerounian striker playing for the Swiss national team; Bree Embolo.
The Black Stars of Ghana’s loss to Portugal 3-2, rounded off Africa’s Opening matches last night, as they fell to the superior fire power of the Selecao. Although 2 goals broke the hoodoo of No-Goals in a world cup that has an average of 2.3 goals per match, the continent would have to do more, if any of her teams intends to make a move forward in the Mundial.
