• Fenerbache defender Alexander Djiku has reacted to Ghana's AFCON exit
• Ghana were eliminated from AFCON after their draw against Mozambique
• The Black Stars leave the tournament with only two points from two games

Ghana defender, Alexander Djiku has penned a heartfelt apology to Black Stars fans following the country's exit from the Africa Cup of Nations at the group stage.

The Fenerbache centre-back was one of Ghana's best players at the tournament in Cote d'Ivoire despite the early elimination.

On Monday in Ebimpe, the four-time African champions threw away a two-goal lead as Mozambique scored twice in extra time to hold the Black Stars, as reported by the BBC.

Djiku took to social media to express his disappointment while stating how grateful he is for the support of Ghanaians.

"Words will certainly not be enough to erase the disillusionment. We are disappointed and very sorry for our Ghanaian people that we have failed at this stage of the competition, but if you only knew how grateful we are to have been supported by you, our Ghanaian fans," he wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

The 29-year-old was Man of the Match as Ghana lost to Cape Verde before starring against Egypt and Mozambique.
