Head coach of the senior national team of Ghana Otto Addo says his team lost the game against the Super Eagles of Nigeria at the ongoing Unity Cup due to a sloppy first half display, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Ghana fell behind 0-2 to Nigeria in the first half before rallying back with a better performance in the second half, but it only gave them a goal which ended as a mere consolation.
Nigeria won the game 2-1 to progress to the final, and Addo while explaining the defeat blamed it on a poor start to the game, which helped the Nigerian team to go two goals up.
“We were not really in it. I think the goals were too easy. The second one was a little bit lucky, but the first goal was way too easy, actually it was not a good cross from Nigeria but we did too clear”, he explained.
” Yeah, we are not compact in defense and didn’t stop the cross. And yeah, I think we slipped also in the middle and that shouldn’t happen. At the same time Nigeria were more aggressive in the first half”.
