My players showed too much respect to Qatar - Black Galaxies coach Annor Walker

Published on: 24 August 2022

Black Galaxies coach Annor Walker has expressed his disappointment after his side lost 2-1 to Qatar on Tuesday in an international friendly.

Ghana were two goals down under 30 minutes at the Wiener Neustadt Stadium in Austria as the 2022 FIFA World Cup hosts took the lead in the 2nd and 26 minutes of the game.

After the recess, the Black Galaxies halved the deficit in the 68th minute through Hearts of Oak forward Daniel Afriyie.

"My players showed too much respect to Qatar because they thought that was their senior side and they are also hosting the World Cup, so they gave them respect," Annor Walker said after the game.

The game will serve as a test for the Black Galaxies who will face Nigeria in the 2023 CHAN final round of qualifiers.

The first leg is set to be played in Ghana on August 28 and the return fixture on September 1 at the Moshood Abiola Stadium in Abuja.
