Ghana head coach, Otto Addo has noted that he believes Portugal should not have been awarded a penalty kick during the Group H clash on Thursday.
The Germany-trained tactician today fielded a strong team in hopes of securing a good result to start off the campaign in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
After a solid display from his Black Stars, it took a dubious penalty decision to help Portugal take the lead.
Speaking after the game that ended with Portugal winning 3-2, Coach Otto Addo says the incident involving Salisu Mohammed and Cristiano Ronaldo should not have been awarded as a penalty.
"The game plan was ok but the referee gave a penalty which is not a penalty. Everyone saw Salisu. It’s a mess,” Coach Otto Addo said in his post-match interview.
The gaffer is now rallying his Black Stars to focus and prepare to win the next match against South Korea.
“We had our chances even in the last minute. I can't be proud because it's zero points. We have to win our next two games,” Coach Otto Addo noted.
The game against South Korea will be played on Monday.
