Addo’s side fell to a disappointing 2-1 loss to the Super Eagles at the Gtech Community Stadium, London on Wednesday night.

Ghana improved after the break with Thomas Asante reducing the deficit 20 minutes from time.
Addo reckoned the absence of key players affected his team’s performance in the game.
“It’s not always easy, especially when we have players who haven’t played together often,” Otto said after the game.
“Nigeria has a more mature team that adapted quicker. We struggled to press, engaging in duels, and maintaining defensive structure.”
The Black Stars will face Trinidad and Tobago in the third-place match on Saturday.
