Coach of the Black Starlets, Laryea Kingston, is urging Ghanaians to savor the team’s impressive 5-1 triumph over Ivory Coast in the opening match of the WAFU B U17 Cup of Nations.
The Ghana U17 side secured a commanding victory with goals from Joseph Narbi (2), Godfred Sarpong, Harve Gbafa, and Mark Kagawa Mensah.
Following the match, Coach Kingston acknowledged the formidable challenge posed by the Ivorian team, recognizing their quality.
Despite the convincing victory, he highlighted the challenges his team faced during the game.
“It’s a cause for celebration. We must take pleasure in it. The game was challenging. The Ivorians are a tough team. They complicated things for us. It was hard to control the game due to their playing style.
I’m thrilled. Now it’s time for Ghanaians to celebrate because it’s a significant win against a strong team,” Coach Laryea Kingston commented.
With this win under their belt, the Black Starlets now turn their focus to their upcoming clash against Benin in the WAFU B U17 Cup of Nations.
This triumph sets Ghana on course to potentially return to the U17 Africa Cup of Nations, a tournament they last featured in back in 2017.
