Ghana coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren refuses to give up on his team despite their horrible start at the Women's Africa Cup of Nations. The Black Queens boss believes his players will finally find the back of the net when they face Mali on Friday July 11. Ghana crashed to a 2-0 defeat against South Africa in their opening Group C match but came close to scoring twice. The team smashed the woodwork on two separate occasions during their frustrating loss. Bjorkegren thinks his squad did everything right except put the ball in the goal.
Mali managed to scrape past Tanzania with a narrow 1-0 victory in their first group game. The match takes place at Stade Municipal de Berkane with kickoff set for 16:00 GMT. Ghana desperately needs three points to keep their tournament dreams alive after the opening day disaster. The coach remains hopeful that lady luck will smile on his team when they get their next chance. He admits his players performed well against the South Africans but lacked the crucial finishing touch.
The Black Queens must bounce back quickly or face an early exit from the competition. Their coach believes better fortune awaits his team in front of the Mali goal. Ghana cannot afford another disappointing result if they want to reach the knockout stages. The team has the talent but needs to convert their chances into actual goals. Friday represents a make or break moment for the struggling Black Queens.
