Wollacott endures horrific AFCON debut

Ghanaian goalkeeper, Jojo Wollacott was among the scores of Ghanaian players making their debut at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations staged in Cameroon.

The custodian, who came to prominence following the injury struggles of No.1 choice Richard Ofori, endured a nightmarish campaign as Ghana exited at the group stages.

Wollacott conceded five goals in three games as the Black Stars failed to record a win for the first time in the history of the continental showpiece.
