Akonnor: Ghana were not organised against Mali

Ghana coach CK Akonnor believes his team were let down by the unfamiliarity among players in Friday's friendly defeat to Mali.

In his first game in charge of the Black Stars since taking over from James Kwasi Appiah in January, Akonnor watched on helplessly as his side succumbed to a 3-0 loss in Antalya, Turkey.

Ghana's line-up featured three debutants as well as two players returning to the national fold after some time in the wilderness.

“I won’t blame the players for the defeat but the key thing which resulted in our loss to Mali was that the team was not organised,” Akonnor to Adom FM.
