The team led by coach Charles Akonnnor are bent on winning their game against the Bafana Bafana.
Speaking to the team when he paid them a visit at their training grounds, Mr. Charles Asuako Owireduurged the Black Stars to continue their fine start in the qualifiers by beating the South Africans.
According to him, the restriction on stadium attendance is a major advantage the Black Stars must capitalize on to defeat their opponents.
“Our expectations are that you are going to continue from where you started. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get many people to come and support you because of the COVID-19 restrictions but that is also an opportunity because they are also not going to have any home advantage, that’s the South Africans to support their team. It’s a no man’s land,” Charles Asuako Owiredu said.
Adding: “I think that we should be able to do better and at least win this match. Once we do it, then the next subsequent matches would be easy for us,” the High Commissioner stated.
According to him, all necessary things have been put in place to ensure that the Black Stars earn a resounding victory over the South Africans, “I wish you well and hopefully victory will be for us.”
