Ghana U-20 forward Abdul Hakim Sulemana says the team is determined to improve their finishing in front of goal when they face Senegal in their next match at the ongoing Africa U-20 Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.
The Black Satellites were held to a 1-1 draw by DR Congo on Friday night at the Suez Stadium in their Group C opener.
Samuel Ntanda-Lukisa opened the scoring for DR Congo in the 16th minute, but Ghana responded quickly, with Aziz Musibau netting the equaliser in the 24th minute.
Sulemana, who was named Man of the Match, admitted that the team struggled to convert their chances.
“I think we came all out, and it was just unfortunate we couldn’t capitalise on our chances,” Sulemana said.
“So the next time we get an opportunity, we are going to use our chances wisely,” he added.
All four teams in Group C—Ghana, DR Congo, Senegal, and the Central African Republic—currently sit on one point, after Senegal also played out a 1-1 draw against the Central African Republic.
Ghana will return to action on Monday, May 5, when they take on Senegal at the Suez Stadium. Kick-off is scheduled for 18:00 GMT.
