Razak Briamah keeps most clean sheets at 2015AFCON


Black Stars goalkeeper, Razak Brimah, has revealed that after missing a penalty at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations finals he could not eat for a week.

Ghana lost what was their second final in five years to their neighbours, Ivory Coast.

The match ended scoreless after extra-time, with the Elephants coming back from two goals down in the penalty shootout to win 9-8.

Brimah, who missed his kick said he cried and starved himself for one week after goalkeeper, Sylvain Gbohouo scored the winner to hand Ivory Coast the trophy.

"After missing the penalty, I cried for one week," he told Original FM.

"I like fasting, and I used to fast every Monday and Thursday at that time, but I was so sad, and I fasted throughout that week," he added.

The Linares Deportivo goalie was the first choice for the Black Stars in the tournament hosted by Equatorial Guinea.

He kept four clean sheets in six matches in the competition, the most by a keeper in the tournament.
