Speaking to GFA media after the Black Stars' disappointing loss to Sudan in Libya, he said Ghana deserved to win on Tuesday, likewise, their opening Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers match against Angola in Kumasi.
Ghana head coach Otto Addo says his team deserved to win their last game against Sudan.

The Black Stars lost both games by 2-0 and 1-0 respectively, however, Addo still believes his side should have won both encounters.
"It's just like we didn't execute and the results were not there. But surely we deserved to win against Angola, and also the last home game against Sudan. The reason I'm saying it is because it affects, surely, the tactical view of the away game when you have to win," he said.
The 49-year-old expressed satisfaction with the player’s overall tactical discipline but believed they lacked the final touch.
He also emphasised the need for the team to take their chances at home going forward.
“If I reflect, and this was also when I was a player, this was the case; you have to win your home games. You have to win them. The passion and also the discipline defensively but also offensively, position-wise, was really, really good,” Addo noted.
Black Stars' qualification chances hand in the balance
Ghana can mathematically still qualify for the tournament in Morocco next year, but with their destiny out of their hands, that seems unlikely.
The Black Stars are third in Group F with only two points, trailing first-placed Angola by ten points and second-placed Sudan by five points.
The four-time continental champions have failed to win any of their first four group games, drawing two and losing two.
A point by the Falcons of Jediane in their last two games automatically secures them the last qualification spot in Group F.
Such an outcome means Ghana will miss out on qualifying for the AFCON for the first time in 20 years.
