Ghana captain Andre Ayew has defended his team's much-criticised first-half performance against Guinea-Bissau at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt on Tuesday.
An underwhelming first-half showing in the last Group F fixture at the Suez Stadium saw the Black Stars head into the break at 0-0. But then two second-half goals from Jordan Ayew and Thomas Teye Partey ultimately secured a 2-0 triumph for James Appiah's men, sending them through to the Round of 16 as group winners.
"The first-half was good if you look at it in my perspective because Guinea-Bissau were fresh like us,” Ayew said after the match.
