The Black Starlets of Ghana are set to take on Benin today at 6PM GMT at the University of Ghana Stadium, with a win or draw needed to confirm their place at the top of Group A in the ongoing WAFU Zone B U-17 Cup of Nations.
Following an impressive 5-1 victory over the young Elephants of Cote d’Ivoire on the opening day, Ghana has already secured a semi-final berth.
This dominant performance has set the stage for what promises to be a decisive match against Benin.
A 1-0 victory for the young Elephants over Benin on Saturday means that Laryea Kingston’s side requires only a draw to secure the top spot in the group.
However, the Beninois have a chance to advance if they can manage a 5-0 victory over the Starlets.
Coach Kingston is not taking any chances, aiming to lead his team back to the U-17 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), a tournament they last participated in during the 2017 edition in Gabon.
