However, they were overwhelmed by their opponents, conceding twice in the second half of the crucial encounter.

According to Taylor, the defeat was because Ghana had a poor technical bench led by Otto Addo, comparing the ex-Dortmund player to Kwesi Appiah.

"Otto Addo is not a listening coach. Compare our technical team to that of Sudan, Kwesi Appiah is better than Otto Addo," he said on Angel FM, as quoted by Pulse.
“Ignatius is better than John Paintsil, and Eric Amponsah is better than Fatawu Dauda as a goalkeeper's trainer,” he added
