It will be challenging for Ghana’s team to defeat South Korea in their second group encounter, according to coach Otto Addo.
On Thursday at the 974 Stadium, the Black Stars faced Portugal in the opening match of their 2022 World Cup campaign.
The European team defeated the four-time champion African team 3-2.
The second group match between Ghana and South Korea will take place on Monday at 13:00 GMT at the Education City Stadium.
Addo emphasized that they must defeat the Koreans in order to advance to the tournament’s next round before the game against the Asian team.
When asked if Ghana could advance to the next round of the competition following the match against Portugal, the 49-year-old responded, “First of all, there is no doubt that we have a chance, especially since they played a draw. If we defeat South Korea and Portugal defeats Uruguay, which is what Portugal is hoping to do, then we will finish second, increasing our chances.
“And since South Korea is a good team, it will undoubtedly be very, very difficult to defeat them. But now, we must triumph.
He continued, “Not only are we under pressure, but so are they.
Portugal already leads the group after the victory, although today’s setback to the Black Stars might not be too costly given that South Korea and Uruguay earlier in the day drew 0-0.
