World Cup 2022: We faced strong South Korea team - Ghana coach Otto Addo

Published on: 29 November 2022

Ghana head coach Otto Addo has heaped his players for securing their first win at the 2022 World Cup with a 3-2 victory on South Korea on Monday.

Black Stars took a 2-0 lead courtesy of goals from Mohammed Salisu and Kudus but two stunning headers in three minutes from Cho Gue-sung levelled the game after 61 minutes.

Kudus added a final twist when he thumped in a third for Ghana to break South Korea's hearts.

"We knew that it would be difficult for our defenders to follow him when Heung-Min Son tried to get inside from the side," coach Addo said after the game.

"In the process of defending Korea’s attack, we suffered a lot of crosses. Korea was a strong team. We were lucky in the end and we were able to win in the end."

Black Stars are currently second in Group H and will take on Uruguay in their final group game. A win or draw will see Ghana through to the last 16 of the competition.

Ghana are the third African country after Senegal and Morocco to secure a win in the second round of matches in the tournament.
