Black Meteors coach Ibrahim Tanko is unhappy with his players despite beating Congo in their opening game at the 2023 U-23 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The Ghana U23 team inflicted a 3-2 win over Congo to go top of Group A at the ongoing tournament in Morocco.
Ghana were cruising to a convincing 3-0 win but the Congolese stage a comeback and nearly equalize after scoring two quick goals as the game ended 3-2 in favour of the Black Meteors.
“I am happy we won but i am very angry about my players and to concede two goals after 90 mins is unacceptable. We have a day to prepare for the next match”.
“Congo did very well. We started well in the first 20 minutes but they dominated the rest of the first half. We brought on two substitutes and got our goals but are not happy about the two goals we conceded”.
“Some of the players showed tiredness and I was not happy with the body language of some of the substitutes. We will address these things and we hope that the next game will be better “.
“We are going to watch the game again and see where we fell shot and prepare for the next game”, Coach Tanko stated at the post-match press conference.
