Sports Minister Kofi Adams praised the Black Stars after their Unity Cup performance at London's Gtech Community Stadium. Ghana arrived at the four-team tournament following World Cup qualifying wins over Chad and Madagascar during March. The team finished third place after beating Trinidad and Tobago 4-0 despite losing 2-1 to Nigeria earlier. Adams told Sporty FM he felt impressed with player commitment before and after the competition. The tournament helped coaches test new talent on the national squad.
Several young players made strong debuts during the London matches according to the minister. Ghana struggled during the first half against Nigeria but improved significantly after halftime. Adams defended goalkeeper Benjamin Asare who had problems during the opening match but bounced back later. The official believes Ghana achieved important goals even after the Nigeria defeat. Ghana faces Chad and Mali during September World Cup qualifiers for their next major assignments.
