Coach Otto Addo's Disappointment
Head Coach Otto Addo voiced his disappointment over the loss, stating that Ghana did not deserve to be defeated.
Despite conceding early on, the Black Stars showcased resilience, especially in the second half, creating numerous opportunities even with ten men on the field.
Addo acknowledged the team's efforts but highlighted the need to improve and move forward.
“I don’t like to look too much about the positives because we lost,” Addo told Ghana.org.
“But I think we were a bit unlucky the way we conceded the first goal as the ball hit the hand, but like I said, we were unlucky. First half, they had the better chances but in the second half we really, really did well.
“If you want to come to the positive signs, the things we did in the second half with ten men were good.
“We controlled them; we were a little bit unlucky with the finishing. I think what killed us was their second goal because we were close to actually equalize but in all, a draw would have been deserved but like I said we lost and we have to improve and move on.”
