Avram Grant lost the plot against Senegal

Avram Grant loses first competitive match as Ghana coach
Avram Grant lost his first competitive match as
Ghana coach after the Black Stars went down 2-1
against resilient Senegal in their opening 2015
Africa Cup of Nations game on Monday.

The ex-Chelsea manager tasted defeat in his first
competitive game as questions are being asked
about his tactical variations.

His favoured 3-5-2 formation has now become a
matter of intense debate in the West African
country as pressure begins to mount for the
Israeli.

Substitute Mousa Sow scored a dramatic late winner
to complete his team’s comeback at the Stade de
Mongomo in an electrifying opener on Monday.

Sow drilled in a low shot with almost the last
kick of the game in added time after Mame Biram
Diouf had cancelled out Andrew Ayew’s first-half
penalty for Ghana.

The result was a sour start for former Chelsea
boss Avram Grant in his first match in charge of
Ghana, with the quadruple former winners now under
pressure to advance from the 16-nation
tournament’s toughest group. Algeria and South
Africa, the other two teams in the group, met
later on Monday.
