Captain Asamoah Gyan says the Black Stars are fully focused on delivering a win against Guinea on Wednesday having put behind their weekend’s disappointment.

Ghana surrendered its first half lead in their first leg meeting with Guinea to eventually end the game with a 1-1 in Casablanca.

The drab draw now makes qualification for next year’s Africa Cup of Nations a bit more difficult as the Black Stars must now pick at least two wins in their three remaining games.

Many have criticized the Black Stars’ performance over the weekend against Guinea – especially in the second half where their hosts thoroughly dominated.

But captain Asamoah Gyan says that disappointing result has been buried with the team now looking ahead to a win in the return encounter on Wednesday.

“We had a bit of a disappointment in the last game which we should have won but everybody has out that game behind and we are now looking forward to tomorrow,” he said.

“We are fully focused for this game and I am sure everything will be fine.”

Ghana will maintain its top spot in Group E with a win over Guinea on Wednesday.
