Apart from a lack of experience, Kihwelo pointed out his charges were not as effective as Ghana were in front of goal. Our team fought hard and as you know it is our first time to participate in the competition, the tactician said in his post-match address. But all in all, the chances we created we were unable to make maximum use of them. We hit the woodwork on a number of occasions and Ghana cleared some of our chances. It is not that Ghana were superior to us, no it is because they perfectly used their chances but we, on our side, were unable to utilise our chances.
Emphatic Ghana floor Tanzania for perfect Group C start
A brace from Percious Boah, a sensational strike by 16-year old Abdul Fatawu and Joselpho Barnesâ goal earned three-time champions Ghana a massive 4-0 win over Tanzaniaâs
Ngorongoro Heroes in their Group C opener at the Stade de Nouadhibou on Tuesday.
Boahâs freekick and Fatawuâs strike from the halfway line earned the
Black Satellites a 2-0 lead at halftime with the burly striker completing his brace in the second half as the Ghanaians showed their early intention at the biennial tournament.
Ghana were leading by the break and duly deserved as they had been the more enterprising side in attack.
