Ghana coach Chris Hughton has reacted to his side triumph over Central Africa Republic during the final round of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
The West Africa powerhouse made their home advantage after coming from a goal down to snatch victory over their opponent on Thursday.
Prior to the game, Ghana needed just a point to secure Afcon qualification.
Meanehile, the Wild Beasts had to secure victory at all cost to book a place at the continental showpiece set for January 2024.
In the bid to upset Ghana, the visitors went on to open the scoring in the first half but Mohammed Kudus restored parity after converting a nice free-kick for Ghana as both teams went to recess with a goal apiece.
A spirited performance in the second half propelled the Black Stars to grab the match winner through youngster Ernest Nuamah as Ghana secured a 2-1 win on home turf.
At the post-match conference, the former Premier League manager said, “I think we showed a good level today. In the end, we could have been more comfortable,” he said after the game.
“We could have played better in the first half but sometimes, you have to wait for the game to open up,” he added.
