You deserve at least a draw, and you have the chances to actually win.I'm really proud of the girls. They worked hard. There haven't been many training sessions togetheractually, just one full training. The focus has been on working as a group and improving the defense.The match was part of Ghanas preparations for the Womens Africa Cup of Nations, set for July.
