\u201cI think we have enough opportunities in the opposition box but of course, if we don\u2019t score the goals it put pressure on ourselves,\u201d the former Premier League manager said after the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe played against a good and well-organized Angola team but credit to the team and the players for showing a great spirit and determination, it\u2019s a win and that is the most important thing,\u201d he said after the game.<\/p>\n

The Black Stars will travel to Luanda on Monday for the second leg of the doubleheader on Monday, March 27.<\/p>\n

The game will be played at the Est\u00e1dio 11 de Novembro with kick-off scheduled at 16:00GMT.<\/p>\n
