Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac has blamed defensive errors on his side stalemate against Ethiopia in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
The Black Stars were held to a 1-1 draw at the Orlando stadium in Johannesburg in the penultimate qualifier on Thursday.
The four-time African Champions must beat South Africa at all costs in the final group game at the Cape Coast stadium on Sunday to secure qualification to the final playoffs.
South Africa has extended their lead in Group G after inflicting a 1-0 win over Zimbabwe at the FnB stadium last night.
They sit top of the table with 13 points with Ghana at the second spot with 10 points.
Speaking after the game, the Serbian trainer congratulated the Ethiopians but blamed defensive errors for the stalemate.
“First I want to congratulate my bots for fighting very hard. We were expecting a very tough match today and I want to congratulate the Ethiopian team for a very good performance today, they deserve this result” he said.
“We had some problems in defense especially today. We made some mistakes so after all, everything will be decided on Sunday so for us it’s important to win our next match on Sunday with two-goal deference if we want to qualify for the final round of the qualification for the World Cup” he added.
Ghana will host South Africa at the Cape Coast stadium on Sunday at 7:00pm.
