Crystal Palace and Ghana forward, Jordan Ayew has reflected on his team’s loss to the Super Eagles of Nigeria in Friday’s International friendly encounter in Marakech, Morocco.
Rangers of Scotland Cyriel Dessers and Atalanta of Italy’s Ademola Lookman were the goal scorers for the Super Eagles while Ghana’s consolation goal was scored by Ayew in the dying minutes of the encounter.
Jeremy Opoku was sent off by the centre referee for a rash challenge in the 57th minute.
The Black Stars dominated the second half despite their numerical disadvantage.
Speaking in a post match conference, Ayew, insisted that they deserved something from the game.
His words “It didn’t really affect us, it gave us even more energy, more strength to keep on doing what we were doing because I had a feeling that we were the better team in the second half,” Ayew told reporters in the mixed zone after the game.
“But you know in football, sometimes things go your way, sometimes don’t go your way and I think we put them under pressure, we went toe-to-toe.
“We did a really good second half so we need to build on that and it’s a positive thing for the future.”
