But, again, respect to Chad for the good defending. I don\u2019t know how many corners we had, we had a lot of corners, we did nothing out of that, we had a lot of shots, attempts on the goal, we had a lot of ball possession, and normally we have to win this game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo this is, at the end, surely not good enough, and we have to improve, especially on our execution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the setback, Ghana remain top of Group I with 16 points, three ahead of Madagascar and four clear of Mali after seven rounds of matches.<\/p>\n<p>The Black Stars will quickly turn their attention to Monday\u2019s crucial clash with Mali at the Accra Sports Stadium.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <div class=\"booster-block booster-reactions-block\">\n            <div class=\"twp-reactions-icons\">\n                \n                <div
