Asamoah Gyan was critical of the playing surface as 10-man Ghana recorded 1-0 win over Togo in an international friendly in Accra on Monday.

Portugal-based midfielder Bernard Mensah scored a fabolous 30-yard goal on his debut as the Ghanaians recorded the narrow win against the Sparrow Hawks.

There was little bit of quality on show before Mubarak Wakaso's needless dismissal in front of the home fans.

And the Ghanaian skipper has concerns about the quality of the Accra pitch.

"The pitch was not good enough. It made even ball control very difficult," he said

"But I believe our target was met and we're happy to go into the main encounter against Mauritius in good spirit."

The Black Stars will return to the venue on Tuesday morning for the recovery training after the energy sapping game.

The team will play the Southern Africans on June 14 in their opening qualifier for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon.
