Black Satellites head coach, Desmond Ofei has clearly expressed dissatisfaction after failing to pick maximum points against DR Congo last night but still believes qualification to the next phase of the competition is very possible.
The Ghana men U-20 kicked their AFCON campaign last night at the New Suez Stadium after being held by the Small Leopards to a pulsating 1-1 draw
Captain Samuel Ntanda-Lukisa opened the scoring for DR Congo in the 16th minute with a brilliant header when he leapt high of the Ghanaian defenders to connect with a low cross from Messy Mubundu Manitu.
Dreams FC striker Aziz Musibau notched up the equaliser with a volley from a cross delivered into the Congolese box by Emmanuel Mensah in the 24th minute of the game.
The four-time African champions missed out on moving to the top of Group B following Senegal's 1-1 drawn game against Central African Republic earlier in the group's opener.
Speaking in a post-match interview, the 37-year-old tactician stated they were wasteful in the game as they couldn't utilize their chances and added they will still push hard to seek qualification heading into their remaining two group matches.
“The group is open, and we will fight for qualification. We should have finished our chances."
