The Black Satellites thrilled the huge crowd at the Amahoro Stadium with some really fine football, but had to settle for one point after Andrea Dede Ayew netted a 36th-minute equalizer to bring the sides level. Ghana had conceded a goal in under one minute of the start, and Tetteh says he will now be working to address that.
“So many factors contributed to that, but mainly it was a loss of concentration and my boys did not realize that when a game starts it’s just like when a game is ending. But it is something we will learn from,” Tetteh told KickOffGhana.com.
_quote One other area Tetteh is keen to work on is the strike partnership, where Dominic Adiyah and Ransford Osei did not have the best of days. Tetteh says he is confident his two frontmen will come good when it matters most.
But overall, Tetteh was delighted with the way his team played and is confident they are on course for a place in the last four and by extension a place at the World Youth Championships in Egypt later this year.
“I will term it champagne football without victory. Beautiful football to watch, great inter-passing, the ingredients were there,” he said.
“It is now for us to fight very hard. All four teams have equal chances of qualifying. I believe by the second and third game we shall come out qualifying. It will be quite difficult because the two teams to qualify will come at the last stages.
“I think we stand a brighter chance of qualifying and believe we have set a pace that we can keep up. We must progress with this performance.”
