Kenya women's national team head coach David Ouma believes playing out a goalless draw with Ghana was a positive result in the 2020 Olympic qualifier at the Accra Sports Stadium last Friday.
Harambee Starlets earned a 0-0 draw against the West African nation and will need to avoid conceding on Tuesda to stand a chance of qualifying to the fourth and final round of qualification.
“Of course, playing a draw away to Ghana was a positive result for us. It gives us a good starting point for yet another positive outcome in the second leg on Tuesday,” Ouma told the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) website.
Mwanahalima Adam, who was one of the standout players for Kenya in the second round of qualification against Malawi indicated that second leg tie will be won if only Kenyan fans offer complete support on Tuesday.
“We played according to the coach’s instructions and achieved the result we wanted. Our hope is fans will come out in large numbers to support us on Tuesday as we look to get a win which we really need,” the forward said.
Harambee Starlets are hoping to win and continue to chase their dream of representing the continent in the 2020 Summer Olympics which will be staged in Tokyo, Japan.
