“There are a number of positives to pick from the game. A player like Nettey played for the first time and he did well. All he needs is another chance.”
“It wasn’t t the best of performance but I am very happy for what we have produced today. We kept a clean sheet and that’s the most important thing. We are expecting some players tonight who will join us for the return leg in Sudan.”
