Black Stars Head Coach Otto Addo says Ghana’s 2-1 defeat to Nigeria in the 2025 Unity Cup has offered valuable insights, regarding some of the new faces in the team.
The coach handed debuts to four players - Aaron Essel, Mohammed Fuseini, Christopher Bonsu Baah, and Caleb Yirenkyi.
The latter two caught the eye with their lively performances, giving fans something to cheer despite the loss.
Brandon Thomas-Asante also made a strong impact off the bench, scoring Ghana’s only goal to spark a late push for an equalizer.
He and Yirenkyi came on at half-time for Kwame Opoku and Kamaradini Mamudu.
“For me as a coach, we got some answers about players," Addo said at the post match.
"Some young players did really well and yeah, we are still learning and trying to improve. I think we got a whole lot of answers from our coaching staff and yeah, we have to continue."
Ghana will now face Trinidad and Tobago in the third-place playoff on Saturday, May 31, while Nigeria progress to meet Jamaica in the Unity Cup final.
