Black Stars head coach, Chris Hughton, says the Cape Verde defeat leaves the team with no option but to get a positive result against Egypt in their next game.
After the disappointing start to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, Ghana will need to avoid defeat against Egypt on Thursday in their second group game if they are to keep their hopes alive.
Hughton believes the only way to appease the fans is to do everything possible and obtain a 'favourable result' again against Egypt.
"It's up to us now to recover tomorrow. And we know now that going into the Egypt game, it's a game that we have to get a good result from. I think that has to be the mentality," the Irish trainer said during the post-match presser.
"The players have to be aware of what this means and how disappointed everybody associated with the country and with the team. And we have no choice. We have no choice but to make sure that it's a favourable result in our next game against Egypt."
The match against the Pharaohs is at 8:00 pm on Thursday at Stade Félix-Houphouët-Boigny. The other Group B game will feature Mozambique coming up against Cape Verde.
