Jerome Opoku blamed the Black Stars' inability to convert their chances for their exit from the 2026 FIFA World Cup following a narrow defeat to Colombia. He stated, "I'll just say the little details of the game. They (Colombia) took their chance. We had a couple of chances. We didn't take ours, and they won the game. So, that's really it."
Ghana's campaign ended after a 1-0 loss to Colombia in their Round of 32 encounter at Kansas City Stadium on Saturday.

Opoku acknowledged that the game plan was to win against Colombia, but they were unable to achieve that objective. Ghana reached the knockout stage of the World Cup for the first time since their run at the 2010 tournament.
