Black Princesses captain, Afi Amenyaku, says they knew they could turn things around despite conceding the first goal against Nigeria in the final of the women's football event at the African Games.
In the final on Thursday at the Cape Coast Stadium, Ghana's U-20 side came from behind to beat the Super Falconets 2-1.
Yusif Basigi's side fell behind in the 23rd minute of the game when Amenyaku's howler allowed Nigeria to open the scoring in the first half.
However, after recess, Tracey Twum scored the equaliser to take the game to extra time with Abdulai Mukarama scoring the winner as the Princesses won gold.
Speaking after the game, Ghana's goalkeeper revealed the girls were still confident of winning the game even after they had fallen behind.
"We knew we would come back stronger [after conceding the first goal]," a smiling Amenyaku told Joy Sports. "We weren't scared of anything."
Amenyaku also adds that the thing will now focus on the upcoming FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup to be staged in Colombia later this year.
"From here, we will be preparing towards our World Cup in Colombia," she continued.
"We are urging all Ghanaians to keep praying for us and keep supporting us."
The win at the Cape Coast Stadium means Ghan has now beaten Nigeria in the last finals they played each other; the other being the WAFU B U-20 Cup which was held in Kumasi last year.
