Black Stars head coach, C.K. Akonnor, has said there were positives to take away from the defeat in the friendly game against Morocco.
Ghana suffered a 1-0 defeat to Morocco on Tuesday at the Moulay Abdellah Complex in Rabat.
A Jawad El Yamiq goal was enough for the North African side.
The Black Stars were decent in the first half but fell short in the second half when a Razak Abalora error led to Jawad El Yamiq heading home for Morocco.
Despite the result, Akonnor says he was impressed with the attitude and desire the players displayed in the game.
