'We felt like we should have won' â?? Jerome Opoku reacts to Ghana's draw with Wales

Black Stars defender Jerome Opoku has admitted that Ghana's 1-1 draw with Wales left the team with a sense of missed opportunity but insisted the result provides a solid foundation to build on ahead of the World Cup.

Speaking after the friendly in Cardiff, the Istanbul Basaksehir centre-back reflected on a contest where Ghana took the lead through debutant Caleb Yirenkyi but were ultimately pegged back.

"We felt like we should have won the game, but it's just the little details, and it's something to build on. With the short time we've worked together, I think it's a solid result," Opoku said.

Opoku played the entire duration of the match, delivering a composed performance that should boost his chances of starting in Ghana's World Cup opener against Panama on June 17.

Despite the disappointment of not securing the win, the defender remained positive about the team's trajectory under head coach Carlos Queiroz, who was appointed with limited time to prepare.

Ghana have been drawn in Group L alongside Panama, England, and Croatia. For Opoku, the message is clear: the team is growing, and better days are ahead.
