Black Stars head coach Otto Addo, believes the Super Eagles had a more matured squad than his team in the 2025 Unity Cup game played at the GTech Community Stadium, Brentford on Wednesday evening.
Ghana, with a relatively depleted side succumbed to a 2-1 loss against Nigeria. The game was more entertaining halves as the Super Eagles and the Black Stars dominated play in each half.
Speaking after the game , coach Otto Addo admitted they were abysmal at the start of the game but bounced back stronger in the second half
The former Ghana international further noted that the Nigerians had a matured squad compared to his but still picked some positives from the game and hopes for more improvement going forward
“Like I said, it’s not always easy especially when we have players that haven’t often together. I think Nigeria had a more matured team who could adapt faster and we had problems getting into the duels to press well but also to defend well” Otto Addo said about his much changed team.
“The second half was really good I have to say. Though we lost, I’m happy about the second half, we saw some talents…we saw some players really be positive and I’m looking forward to see them again” Addo said.
Ghana will now play Trinidad and Tobago in the third-place playoff, while Nigeria face off with Jamaica in the final – all on Saturday, May 31, at the same venue
