Published on: 24 November 2016

Black Queens coach Yusif Basigi is not happy his side drew 1-1 with Nigeria in yesterday's Africa Women Nations Cup Group B match.

The Super Falcons took the lead when Asisat Oshoala challenged for a header and the ball bounced in off Ghana's Portia Boakye.But three minutes before half-time Ghana won a penalty and captain Elizabeth Addo the equaliser.

''We are not happy to draw, but it is good to draw when the need arises. Ghana versus Nigeria can go either way. If for any reason we draw, we have to take it in good faith,'' Basigi said in a post match conference.

''Against Mali, Nigeria opened up but against us it was very close. The competition is still on. We have to approach the Mali with all the seriousness to win and qualify convincingly.''

Ghana will face Mali on Saturday in their third Group game.
