Ghana team took a 3-0 lead after 90 minutes, but the Congo Brazzaville team fought back to score two goals in added time whitch prompted the coach of the West Africans to voice his disappointment.
“I am so angry with my players. How could we fail to manage the game well and finish like this. I think my players had forgotten that they were playing a major tournament to let in two goals towards the end of the match,” Tanko told the press after the game.
The former Borussia Dortmund player called for more concentration by his team going forward ahead of more matches in the competition.
“We will remind them of the objectives that need to be achieved and the importance of our presence here,” He added
He however pointed out that the attacking phases of his team were interesting. « I liked the creativity our wingers showed.”
Ghana could book a ticket into the semi final stage if they defeat host nation, Morocco in their next Group A match to be played at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium on Tuesday
