5th February 2019
Black Satellites coach Jimmy Cobblah has expressed his delight after his side made a winning start to their 2019 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations campaign with a 2-0 victory over Burkina Faso on Monday.
Ghana needed a brace on either side of half time from forward Daniel Lomotey to edge West African neighbors in Niger’s third largest city, Maradi.
“We had problems at home due the off the field issues and our pre-tournament matches where not the best but we kept on working and did well today against a good team.” Cobblah said in his post match reaction.
“I’m so happy for the win and to be at the top of the group alongside Senegal. Football is played on the pitch and we concentrated on that.”
“Now we will continue to prepare for the next game match, which will another test for us but we will be ready.”
Ghana will play their second game against Senegal on Wednesday.
