Ghana's World Cup form was just a distant memory on Sunday as it was held to a 0-0 draw by Sudan in their 2012 African Cup of Nations qualifier at Baba Yara's Stadium.
Striker Asamoah Gyan, whose extra time winner against the United States put Ghana into the World Cup quarterfinals in June, added to the disappointment by being sent off in the 80th minute.
The Group I match, in which a determined Sudan side showed no respect for its opponent, had been seen as a key test for interim coach Kwasi Appiah in his bid to secure the post on a permanent basis following the departure of Serbia's Milovan Rajevic.
Both teams now have four points from their opening two games, while Congo has three and Swaziland zero.
