Black Galaxies of Ghana head coach, Didi Dramani says Nigeria deserved to beat his side to the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) ticket.
Dramani’s side fell 3-1 to Nigeria in the second leg of their qualifying contest at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo on Saturday.
Nigeria dominated the game and scored thrice within six minutes in the first half.
Sodiq Ismail, Nduka Junior and Saviour Isaac were on target for the hosts.
“Every coach will feel disappointed, but the result remains what it is,” Dramani began during the post-match press conference when asked about his feelings after the loss, ” Dramani said during his interaction with the media after the game.
“Nigeria showed much more hunger and did a lot of running. We gave away some key moments in the game, which turned out to be disastrous for us.
“After the first goal, the second can drain the strength and energy of a team because of the manner it was scored — not to mention the third goal. At that point, any team could lose its steam. I think Nigeria showed a lot more hunger to get the win, especially in the first half.”
