Chris Hughton says the Black Stars deserve their hard-fought win against Angola in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON] qualifiers.
Ghana recorded a 1-0 win over the Palancas Negras in the matchday three games of the qualifiers at the Baba Yara Stadium with Antoine Semenyo’s late strike.
“If you perform well enough, you have a chance of winning. If you score the goals particularly early in the game, you can take pressure off yourself,” the 64-year-old who has signed a 21-month deal as Black Stars coach said after the game.
“In the end, I think we deserved it, out of the two teams… I think we were better than Angola. Not so much more but I think we were better,” he added.
