Daniel Amartey’s post-match gesture was a powerful statement following Ghana’s 2-2 draw against Mozambique. In a bold move, the Black Stars player removed his jersey and pants, allowing fans to see him in his white underwear. This action seemed to suggest that Amartey was disappointed in his performance and felt he didn’t deserve to represent his country in the Black Stars jersey.
Fortunately, some fans quickly came to his aid, covering him with the Ghana flag and showing their support. This display of solidarity from the fans was a touching moment in the midst of the disappointment from the match.
The incident comes after reports of a clash between Amartey and the Black Stars technical team over his playing time. It remains to be seen what the future holds for Amartey in the senior national team, but his gesture certainly left a lasting impression on fans and the football community.
