Asamoah Gyan fears Ghana's World Cup dream over

With two points from three matches and five behind leaders Uganda, Gyan believes it will take more than a miracle to reach Russia next yea

Asamoah Gyan has admitted that Ghana's chances of qualifying for the 2018 FIFA World Cup is slim following Friday's 1-1 home draw with Congo in Group E.

Almeria forward Thievy Bifouma opened the scoring in the 18th minute while Thomas Partey scored a late equalizer for the Black Stars in the 86th minute.

The 2006 World Cup quarter finalists have now gone three games in the qualifiers without a win as they were held twice at home by Uganda and Congo and losing to Egypt in Alexandria.

And with two points from three matches and five behind leaders Uganda, Gyan believes it will take more than a miracle to reach Russia next year.

''It's difficult, honestly it's very difficult. Things didn't go well as expected and we didn't play the way we expected to play like tacticall, mentally. I didn't know what went wrong but I will say the desire wasn't there today,'' Gyan said in a post-match interview.

''It's one of those days that things happen-Nobody is to be blamed here but it's one of those days that something to get on the field and the desire-I don't know what went wrong but I think it's one of those days.''

Ghana will play Congo in Kinshasha on Tuesday in the return leg clash.
