Ghana defender Samuel Inkoom wants a quick re-match with Brazil after a narrow 1-0 defeat on Monday night.

A ten-man Black Stars put up an impressive showing against the five-time world champions at Fulham's Craven Cottage despite their inability to halt he streak of defeats.

English referee Mike Dean has been heavily criticized by Ghanaian soccer fans for the circumstances that led to the dismissal of impressive left-full back Daniel Opare.

That decision affected the outcome of the match.

The Dnipro defender, who was employed as a left winger in the game until Opare's sending off, is urging authorities to organise another match.

He said: "I think we will need a rematch quickly because we played and the red card to Opare actually affected our game plan in a way."

"We were on top but sometimes some of these things happen as well in the game. We will continue to play our hearts out for our country but I believe we didn't deserve to lose this match," he added.
