Black Satellites head coach Desmond Ofei has praised his players for their disciplined and determined performance in a hard-fought victory over defending champions Senegal at the ongoing U-20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Ghana’s U-20 team secured a vital 1-0 win on Monday night at the New Suez Stadium, with Emmanuel Mensah’s first-half strike proving to be the match-winner.
Speaking after the game, Coach Ofei applauded his players for sticking to the game plan and showing composure under pressure to earn the crucial three points.
“It was a very difficult game, no doubt about that,” he said, following Ghana’s 1-0 win over Senegal. “But tactically, I believe we got it right.”
He highlighted the physical challenge posed by the Senegalese side but lauded his players’ resilience and organisation.
“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.”
The coach also emphasised the importance of his team’s composure, particularly in maintaining their narrow lead under pressure.
“The boys followed the game plan, stayed organised, and gave everything on the pitch. That’s all you can ask for as a coach.”
Ghana will now turn their attention to their final Group C fixture against the Central African Republic, scheduled for Thursday, 8th May 2025.
