Milovan Rajevac refused to be downbeat after his Ghana side were beaten by Holland - instead showing a relieved face after his players came through without injury.

The Black Stars were thumped in Rotterdam as goals from Dirk Kuyt, Rafael van der Vaart, Wesley Sneijder and Robin van Persie lifted the hosts to a 4-1 win.

After utilising almost his entire 23-man squad at the De Kuip Stadium, the coach told the Ghana Football Association website, www.gfa.org: "We cannot drop our heads, we have to continue with our preparations."
