Ghana are yet to reach their peak at 2013 Africa Cup of Nations but coach Kwesi Appiah points out that his side have a solid foundation to attain such heights.
The Black Stars settled for a 2-2 draw in their opening Group B game in Port Elizabeth against DR Congo, but since then have calmly dealt with the expectation by beating Mali 1-0 on Thursday to jump top in the group.
After allowing two goals in their opener, Ghana kept a clean sheet in their last match as they now set their sights on making it to the knockout stages of the African competition.
And for Appiah, Ghana has a base on which to hit their stride as the competition continues.
�We've still got much to offer,� Appiah said after their victory over Mali.
�We can do much, much better than what we did today [against Mali] and we just hope that we keep going and we will see more of that.�
Kwesi Appiah's team now have a final group game against Niger on Monday to worry about as they top the Group B standings with four points from their opening two matches.
However, the Ghana coach is happy with the improved level of concentration exhibited and hopes they can carry it throughout.
�From what I see now, they were very tactically disciplined and what I expected them to do was what they did.�
