A fan from Ghana allegedly attacked the team’s manager after the upsetting defeat by Cape Verde.
following the four-time champions suffered a shocjk 2-1 defeat by Cape Verde on Sunday in their Africa Cup of Nations opener.
The Black Stars would suffer heartache in the second minute of injury time after a defensive mix-up would see Cape Verde’s Garry Rodrigues slide the ball past Richard Ofori in goal to seal the victory.
It seems like the frustration from the fans turned into something really serious.
Videos have also emanated online showing fans around the Stade Félix Houphouët Boigny in Abidijan venting their frustrations at the result while gesticulating in anger.
And after the game, journalist Saddick Adam’s claimed that a supporter had attacked Hughton, but was saved by Ghanaian diplomats.
‘One member of the Ghanaian supporters in Abidjan has been arrested for an attack on coach Chris Hughton at the team’s hotel,’ he wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
