Chris Hughton, the head coach of the Black Stars, remarked that his team let in two easy defensive goals during Sunday's early morning international friendly against Mexico at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, USA.
Ghana gave away two lackluster goals, resulting in a 2-0 loss against the North American side. This marked Chris Hughton's first defeat as the Ghana coach in six games.
In his post-game comments, the former manager of Brighton and Hove Albion emphasized that his team should have avoided conceding goals if they were capable of preventing them.
“The balance is if you don't cope well enough in that period then at least you've got to be secure enough and not give away goals,” he said.
“I thought both the goals that we conceded, I think from our point of view were two poor defensive goals.”
“Then it became an uphill battle and I think we rallied around a little bit and I think in that final period of the game, you know, I saw good effort from the players in trying to get back into the game.
“I think it was it from that stage it was going to be very difficult.”
