That's three decisive penalty kicks that Ghana has lost against Ivroy Coast.

Afcon 1992 final. Afcon 2015 final. We were 2-0 ahead in that and still lost. And this.
Bogus record. #3Sports
At this point, I think the Ghana FA needs to find copies of “12 Yards” by @benlyt and let the national teams read. This penalty problem is just becoming too much for us to handle.
