Ghana coach content with South Africa run out

Ghana coach Goran Stevanovic insists he is happy with the output of his team in Sunday's 1-1 draw with South Africa saying the friendly was a very useful exercise.

The Black Stars engaged Bafana Bafana in the first of two friendlies lined out to prepare the team adequately for the the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations.

Ghana went behind after six minutes when goalkeeper Adam Larsen Kwarasey misjudged an effort before Sulley Muntari drew them level with a header five minutes afterwards but the Serbian trainer is least worried by the result.

"I think that it was a very useful game for us after one week of very very hard work here," the Serbian said. "During the seven days we had ten training sessions, two or three fitness training which is too much for the short time. Today the players showed good effort and I am very very satisfied."

"Some of the details were good. Defence, attack and how we organised the game. The players were tired a little but I am sure for the game against Botswana, we will be 100%."

Ghana will play their final practice match against Platinum Stars on Wednesday before travelling to Gabon on Friday.
