Ghana defender Mohammed Salisu has called for the team to stick together after their latest game at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

The Black Stars, on two occasions, blew away their lead against the Pharaohs of Egypt in the second Group B game as the encounter ended 2-2.

Kudus netted a brace for Ghana but his efforts were undone by individual mistakes which were capitalised on by Omar Marmoush and Mostafa Mohamed.

However, Salisu has called for his teammates not to point fingers at one another.

"We win as a team, we lose as a team, there is no individual mistake," he said.

"When we make mistakes, we do it as a team. When you mention a player, you kill him for the next game. The most important thing is to focus on the next game."

Thursday night's result leaves the Black Stars bottom in Group B with just one game left to play. Ghana face Mozambique on Monday, January 22.
