The Black Stars were furious that Gabon scored after opting not to return the ball when Ghana put it out of play as midfielder Daniel-Kofi Kyereh went down injured. "It was very small of them, but then that is how it is with small teams," Ayew said. "We put the ball out of play, and it is fair play in football to give the ball back. A shoving match broke out on the pitch at full-time and Ghana's Benjamin Tetteh was shown a red card. It was a fine result for Gabon who were again without star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and midfielder Mario Lemina.
