Ghana winger Abdul Fatawu Issahaku remains confident about the Black Stars of Ghana World Cup qualification chances despite sharing the spoils on home turf against Nigeria.
The Black Stars who were slightly better than the Super Eagles played a 0-0 draw at the Baba Yara Stadium on Friday evening.
Ghana dominated possession, recorded the most shots and kept Super Eagles’ star-studded attack at bay in front of a large crowd in Kumasi.
In a post sighted by Footballghana.com, Issahaku who plies his trade for Portuguese side Sporting CP expressed optimism about qualification to the World Cup.
“Is not over yet we are Ghana 🇬🇭 and we are giving it all on Tuesday again 🙏 ,” he tweeted.
Nigeria arrived back in Abuja in the early hours of Saturday morning after Friday's game and have started preparing for the second leg in Abuja.
With the 0-0 draw in the first leg, a win would be enough to secure Nigeria's place at World Cup finals.
Meanwhile, Ghana need a scoring draw or a win to eliminate their West African rivals and reach Qatar.
Black Stars are expected to travel to Abuja on Monday ahead of Tuesday's crunch match.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has given approval to Nigeria to have 60,000 spectators for the return leg in Abuja.
