The result saw Ghana finish third in the group, with their earlier performances proving enough to secure a place in the knockout stages.
Reacting after the game, Thomas-Asante told FIFA.com that the team has to take positives from the outcome and prepare adequately for the knockout stages.
“There’s a degree of disappointment in camp. We knew that there was the opportunity to win the group. That was our intention, our ambition, and there was the possibility.
“So, of course, it was disappointing. We haven’t done that, but we have to take the positive, and we’re into the next round. We want to go as far as we can in the tournament.”
