Ismailia, Sept. 28, GNA – Uzbekistan Coach, Akhmad
Ubatdulleav has authenticated the Black Satellites quality
despite the team’s below par game that produced a 2-1 win in
a Group D nerve wracking game against his side on Saturday.
The coach told GNA Sports that Ghana fell behind in 47
minutes and had to rely on late goals from Ransford Osei and
Dominic Adiyiah, to snatch victory from the jaws of the
Asians.
He insisted that Ghana was the better side.
“The Ghana team is a very good one and today, they proved
they have experience, quality and the attitude to be
champions.”
Ubatdulleav praised Ghana for recovering from an early near
upset, which he said was invented to frustrate the African
Champions, in search of a victory that would have soared
their confidence.
He expressed confidence that Ghana could make a bolder
statement in the competition, which no African team had ever
won.
“Though am not satisfied with how my boys considered two
late goals, Ghana was the stronger and they will go very far
in the tournament with the kind of quality they posses.”
Considered the weakest in the group that has England and
Uruguay, Uzbekistan was expected be the whipping boys
against Ghana but the team failed to rise to the occasion
and got a lead just after half time.
