Milovan Rajevac says Ghana could have played better as he had to watch his side twice come from behind to draw 2-2 against Mali.

The Black Stars with their places at both the Nations Cup and World Cup already secured, needed goals from Matthew Amoah and Anthony Annan to tie the game.

Sunday's game at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi was the final qualifying match in the joint 2010 African Nations Cup and World Cup.

Though not satisfied with the total performance by the Black Stars, Rajevac says he was impressed with the commitment put in by every member of the team.

“We had quite a normal game though we played to win,” the Black Stars coach told www.ghanafa.org in a post match interview.

“We had too many things to do and were too busy to finish up early which forced us into hurrying the game to our disadvantage.”

“And we were average on the day. That certainly couldn’t have been the best of this squad. They could have played better and we looked a little tired.

“But I strongly believe there were some positives that we can look out for,” he added.
