Head coach Otto Addo says Black Stars' humiliating defeat against Austria last Friday did not accurately reflect the performance of his side.

Ghana suffered its biggest football defeat for the first time in 2007 after losing 5-1 against the European side last Friday in Vienna.

Addressing the media on Sunday, Addo suggested the margin of victory was harsh on his team.

“The scoreline was a bit deceptive, and our performance wasn’t so bad,” Addo said after the match. “If we were a little bit smarter, we could have gotten something from the game.”

Ghana struggled defensively during the encounter but still showed glimpses of attacking promise, with the coach highlighting areas where better decision-making could have changed the outcome.

The Black Stars face Germany on Monday, where Addo will hope his side can respond positively and sharpen their performance.

Kick off for the game is scheduled for 18:45 GMT.

These games form part of Ghana's preparations for the 2026 World Cup slated for this summer in the USA, Canada and Mexico.
