WAFU B Boys Cup: We will make sure we get three points against Benin – Ghana U20 coach Desmond Ofei

Ghana U-20 head coach Desmond Ofei has vowed that his team will secure all three points in their next fixture against Benin in the ongoing 2025 WAFU Zone B Boys Cup.

His assurance comes in the wake of Ghana's 1-1 draw with Nigeria in their Group B opener on Thursday, July 10.

The Black Satellites had taken the lead through Aziz Musibau in the first half at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence, only to concede late in the match when Nigeria's Abdullahi Muhammed equalised with a header from a corner in the 83rd minute.

The result left Ghana with just a point from their opening match.

Reflecting on the performance, Coach Ofei admitted his side must grow quickly to succeed in the competition.

“We did as well, we lacked a bit of maturity at this level to see a game like this through, we will learn, we will improve and play against Benin and we will make sure that we will get the three points.”

Nigeria are scheduled to play Benin on July 13, while Ghana will face the same opponent three days later.

The match will be crucial for Ghana’s hopes of progressing to the knockout stage.
