Ghana head coach, Chris Hughton, has bemoaned his team’s defensive performance against Mexico in Sunday dawn’s international friendly at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, USA.
The Black Stars conceded two poor goals to lose 2-0 against the North American side, which is Chris Hughton’s first loss as Ghana coach in six games.
Speaking after the game, the former Brighton and Hove Albion boss said his team should not have given away goals if they cannot avoid conceding.
“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.”
