2023 Africa Cup of Nations: We must avoid mistakes against Mozambique – Denis Odoi

Ghana defender Denis Odoi has urged his teammates to avoid repeating mistakes when they face Mozambique in their final Group B game at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Black Stars need a win to keep their chances of advancing to the knockout stages alive.

The game will be played on Monday night at the Olympic Stadium of Ebimpe, with kick off set at 8 pm.

Odoi emphasized the importance of avoiding small mistakes and being focused throughout the game. He also stressed that if they lose, they lose together as a team.

“If we lose, we do not lose as individuals, we win together and we lose together. I don’t think it is due to the pressure. At this level, you make certain mistakes,” the right-back said.

“In the upcoming game, we have to try and avoid the small mistakes and be very ready and focused throughout the game.”

Ghana opened its campaign with a 2-1 defeat to Cape Verde after conceding a poor goal in stoppage time from a Mohammed Salisu mistake.

Against Egypt in Ghana’s second game, two mistakes gifted the record winners equalisers between Mohammed Kudus’s fantastic goals, with the game ending 2-2.

The Black Stars are third in Group B with one point from two games and must win against Mozambique to progress to the round of 16.
