"Ghana is a very good team, coached by anybody doesn’t really matter," coach Eguavoen said after the game.
"Ghana is known for ball circulation and I will say physically not too strong but we were surprised today they were physically strong.
"You can call him [Otto Addo] a rookie because that’s your decision to call him a rookie."
