Kim Lars Bjorkegren has chosen to look at the positive side of things despite a false start to his career as head coach of the Black Queens.

The Black Queens conceded a stoppage time goal in Casablanca as Ghana lost 1-0 to their Moroccan counterparts in Bjorkegren's first assignment with the team.

Speaking for the first time since Friday's match, the Swedish trainer highlighted the positives from the performance.

''I think we did a good job in the game against Morocco even if the result was not what we were hoping for. But they followed all the instructions and they worked hard and like I said, we will be leaving as a better group and as a better team.''

How the Black Queens lined up for Friday's friendly against Morocco

While his optimism is refreshing, Ghana's performance was characterized by poor finishing and some uncharacteristically slopping defending during the match.

Doris Boaduwaa and Sherifa Sumaila both had decent chances to score, but fired blanks from close range.

At the other end of the pitch, the Queens were punished for a momentary lapse in concentration as Saoud Imane pounced on a loose ball in defense in stoppage time.

Friday's encounter was the first preparatory game for the Queens ahead of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in July.

Ghana were scheduled to face the women's team of Raja Athletic on Monday, but the international friendly has been cancelled.

The Ghana Football Association is yet to announce a replacement.
