The assistant coach of Ghana, Kwesi Appiah, has downplayed criticism making the rounds that the Black Starsďż˝ poor showing against Guinea is a clear indication that they will be eliminated at the knockout stage.
He said that despite what the local media have described as a �shambolic� display against the Syli National in their 1-1 draw final Group D game, progressing to the quarter-final is most important.
Udinese midfielder Emmanuel Agyeman-Badu put Ghana in the lead but that was cancelled by Camara Razzagui of Guinea two minutes into injury time of the first half in Franceville.
�We didn�t want to get into a situation of problems,� Appiah said in a post-match interview. �It was just important that we qualified for the next stage. At the end of the day, the most important thing is making sure you qualify.�
Ghana will now face north Africans Tunisia in the quarter-final on Sunday.
