Afcon: Ghana coach Appiah reveals takeaways from Namibia loss in test fixture

Ghana coach James Kwesi Appiah says he is not worried by Sunday's fall to Namibia in an Africa Cup of Nations warm-up tie in the United Arab Emirates.

The Black Stars suffered a stunning 1-0 loss to the Brave Warriors in the first of two preparatory games for the June 21-July 19 championship in Egypt.

Manfred Starke scored the solitary goal in the 35th minute, with Ghana missing an opportunity to level the score when Mubarak Wakaso stepped up for a penalty in the second half.

"Not actually," Appiah said when asked whether he was surprised by the scoreline, as reported by Ghanasoccernet.
