Ghana's head coach, Chris Hughton, has emerged as a staunch defender of Richard Ofori's performance in the aftermath of conceding two goals against Cape Verde.
Addressing the media in a pre-game press conference, Hughton not only acknowledged the goalkeeper's noteworthy saves but also expressed gratitude for Ofori's personal contribution to the team's defensive efforts.
This comes at a time when the custodian has faced scrutiny from fans who believed he could have done more to prevent the goals against Cape Verde on Sunday evening.
Hughton's support for Ofori seems to come from the coach's recognition of the goalkeeper's resilience and standout moments during the match.
"I think anybody watching the first game would have seen Richard Ofori making two very important saves for us. This is what we expect from any of our goalkeepers," Hughton said.
"We were grateful for his personal performance against Cape Verde," he added.
