Gideon Mensah would have blamed himself if Ghana hadnt edged Niger 2-0, after wasting a chance easier to score than to miss.
The Back Starlets defeated their Nigerien counterparts 2-0 on Wednesday via goals from Eric Ayiah and Richard Danso.
Ayiah got the opener on the stroke of first half break and Gideon Mensah had the opportunity to make it 2-0 when Edmund Arko-Mensah's shot beat Khaled in post for Niger, but Mensah in front of the yarning net sent the ball over the crossbar in the second half.
