Head coach of the Black Queens, Kim Lars Bjorkegren, says his team's defeat to South Africa in their opening 2024 WAFCON Group C clash was largely due to a lapse in concentration.
The Queens started brightly but conceded two quick goals in the first half through Linda Motlhalo and Jermaine Seoposenwe.
Despite creating chances in the second half, Ghana failed to convert, hitting the post twice and being denied by South Africa's goalkeeper Andile Dlamini. "We were the better team the first half hour until the goal came," Bjorkegren said after the game. "They scored from the penalty, it came from nowhere.
After that, we gave them the opportunity to score another one â and that is a problem.
