Tariq Lamptey, has voiced his disappointment over Ghana's loss to Portugal in the 2022 World Cup opening match.

The Black Stars lost to the European powerhouses 3-2 on Thursday, and the Brighton and Hove Albion defender came on as a substitute.

With his second-half penalty giving Portugal the lead, Cristiano Ronaldo made history by becoming the first player to ever score five goals at a World Cup.

Andre Ayew of Ghana then tied the score, but Portugal won and topped Group H despite Osman Bukari's late winner with to two goals in three minutes from Joao Felix and Rafael Leao.

“We worked hard in training, we believed in ourselves and we knew we could get something positive from the game but unfortunately we couldn’t get anything from the game”

“We will take the positives and build on it for the next game” he said.

The 2016 European Champions currently sit top of Group H with three points.

Meanwhile, the defeat means Ghana are bottom of Group H after Uruguay and South Korea played out a goalless draw earlier on Thursday.

The Black Stars will now turn their attention to their upcoming matches against South Korea and Uruguay on November 28 and December 2, respectively.
