Coach Konadu went on to speak about how the game went for the Black Stars B team.
“It was a tactical game and the side needed more patience. We started the buildup gradually and we were sure that we were going to make it but our opponents came back strongly.”
The Black Stars B came through a torrid preliminary stage after beating The Gambia in a difficult time which saw Ghana sail through kind courtesy an injury time penalty.
The story has been rather amazing since the side got into the group stages of the WAFU tournament. Konadu gave his view on the side’s performance in the competition so far “We have done that far and the players have done so well for themselves, their families and Ghana. We started slowly in the tournament but they keep improving match after match.”

Ghana will play Nigeria on Sunday, the 24th of September 2017 in the finals at the Cape Coast Stadium.
