Black Galaxies coach, Annor Walker says his side were not in their usual rhythm against Madagascar in their opener of the ongoing 2022 African Nations Championship [CHAN].

Ghana suffered a shocking 2-1 defeat against the debutants on Sunday at the Chahid Hamlaoui Stadium in Constantine.

Solomampionona Razafindranaivo and Olivier Randriatsiferana were on the scoresheet for Madagascar before Augustine Agyapong scored a consolation.

Speaking after the game, Walker praised Madagascar after the win but said they were not in their rhythm.

He also added that the technical team will analyse the game with his technical team to properly assess where things may have gone wrong in their shock defeat.

“Madagascar played well in the first half, but we also did not have our usual rhythm. Apart from that, I did not see anything different from them," he said after the game," he told CAFOnline.

"They were possessing the ball quite well, but I believe we could have done better ourselves and these are the things we will need to look at and remedy ahead of our next match on Thursday.

"I still need to analyse the game and to make a proper judgement on where exactly we went wrong and how it needs to be fixed,” concluded the coach," the veteran trainer added.

Ghana will hope to return to winning ways when they take on Sudan on Thursday in their second Group C game.

Kick-off is at 19:00GMT.
