Desmond Ofei: Our goal is World Cup qualification

-

Black Satellites head coach, Desmond Ofei, has reiterated that his side is focused on securing qualification for the U-20 World Cup later this year in Qatar.

The Black Satellites coach made this remark after his side recorded their first win against Senegal on Monday night in the ongoing U-20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament in Egypt.

Emmanuel Mensah scored the only goal of the game in the first half to secure Ghana’s first win in the competition.

Despite the performance not being entirely convincing, Ofei was pleased to get the result.

“Our main goal is to qualify for the World Cup. That’s the focus. Each match and positive result takes us a step closer,” he said after the game.

The gaffer also praised the commitment of his team in getting over the line against Senegal.

“Senegal came at us with a very direct and physical approach. It wasn’t easy, but our players showed great tactical discipline and fighting spirit throughout the game,” he added.

Ghana will face the Central African Republic in their final Group C game on Thursday in Ismailia.
