Golden Eaglets head coach, Manu Garba has lamented his team’s poor preparation for the WAFU B U-17 Championship.

Garba’s side were held to a 0-0 draw by Burkina Faso in their opening fixture in the competition at the University Stadium on Thursday night.

The Eaglets dominated the game but couldn’t find a way past the resolute Burkinabe defence.

The gaffer reckoned his team’s inadequate preparation affected their performance in the game.

“The match against Burkina Faso was only the first international game by the team,” he said after the game.

“Burkina Faso were better prepared than us. They went on a playing tour, just like Ghana.

“But hopefully we will get better as the tournament progresses.”

The Golden Eaglets will face Niger Republic in their next game on Sunday.
