2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers: We will secure qualification against South Africa - CK Akonnor

Published on: 24 March 2021

C.K Akonnor has reiterated that the Black Stars ar focused of securing a qualification for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations against South Africa.

Ghana will be hosted by the Bafana Bafana at the FNB Stadium on Thursday before the final game against Sao Tome in Accra.

Both Ghana and South Africa are tied in Group C with 9 points, with the Black Stars top on goal difference.

Akonnor believes there is not much between the two sides in terms of quality and expects a competitive game.

“As much as we are a threat to them, they are also a threat to us,” Akonnor said.

“It’s all about how we organize ourselves and deliver.

“We want to try and qualify in that game before we return for the Sao Tome game.

“So we’ll see, the team that is well organized and plays intelligent football.

“There are a few details that we need to work on. The difference between the two teams is not much and so we want to be clever in that sense and go in there and qualify," he added.

The team is without Andre Ayew, Jordan Ayew and Thomas Partey.

The game is scheduled for 16:00GMT on Thursday at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg.
