Speaking after the game, Kofi Adams commended the players for securing the much-needed three points, stressing that the result proves Ghana’s readiness to compete at the highest level.

“It was a good game, we won. What we wanted were the three solid points, and we got the points that we needed,” he said. “We are really ready. We talked about qualifying for the World Cup. We didn’t win against Chad, but the boys played all out, and we have now beaten Mali, which is the strongest side in this group. The rest, we are going to deal with them also.”
