CHAN 2022: Annor Walker reveals secret behind Black Galaxies comeback win over Sudan

Published on: 20 January 2023

Black Galaxies coach Annor Walker has shared how he inspired his players to defeat Sudan in the Championship for African Nations (CHAN).

The home-based national team came from behind to defeat Sudan in the second Group C game at the tournament.

Ghana inflicted a 3-1 win over Sudan to boost their chances of progressing to the knockout phase of the competition.

Sudan took the lead on the half hour mark through Hussein Mohammed but goals from Konadu Yiadom, Afriyie Barnieh and Suraj Seidu was enough for the Black Galaxies to secure victory.

According to him, he had to psych his players after conceding first goal in the clash.

"I am very happy for the win. It’s a win for the team for Ghana and for all Ghanaians. Thank you to all Ghanaians and thank you to everyone who supported Ghana," he said at the post match presser.

"My players looked surprised after conceding the goal. When I got the opportunity to talk to them I psyched them up and let them know it’s not over yet. I told them we can really make it and I made them know it’s not over until it is all over.

"We knew we don't have supporters here and we wouldn’t get much support at the stadium. We relied on ourselves to fight to survive. We saw the fans shouting in support of Sudan and we knew we had to fight for ourselves and that's what made us successful."
