Ghana looked on course to book one of the two automatic qualifying spots, when an unfortunate mixup on the second changeover, between Isaac Botsio and Benjamin Azamati resulted in a dropped baton.
World champions USA won the heat, with Italy taking the other automatic qualifying spot.
Ghana however finished the race in eighth place with a time of 42.70 seconds.
