I did not let the blunder against Nigeria affect me - Black Princesses goalkeeper Afi Amenyaku

Published on: 05 June 2023

Black Princesses goalkeeper Afi Amenyaku has revealed that she did not let the error she committed during Ghana's game against Nigeria affect her. 

Afi Amenyaku's error in the box gave the Nigerians an opportunity to equalize after Ghana led by 1-0 through Stella Nyamakye's penalty.

The game ended 1-1 in regulation time and headed to a penalty shootout.

Afi Amenyaku saved the day in a nervy penalty shootout as she saved the first two spot kicks from Nigeria.

Mary Amponsah scored the winning goal to hand Ghana the WAFU B U20 Girls trophy.

"Yes Nigeria was a better side we know in the group stages we were able to play there wasn't any pressure on me so I wasn't able to showcase what is in me. There was pressure on me the coaches they believe in me that is why I am in post. So I have to show them that I have to prove that I really deserve to be in post," she said on Peace FM as monitored by Footballghana.com

"Today's game is the toughest game I have played since I have started because in the first half they had a lot of chances which I was able to save those chances which couldn't lead us to conceding any goal,"

So we hold onto that and after we had a penalty and we converted it and we came back in the second half our coaches told us that we should keep on we should work harder we will carry the day. So we came in and unfortunately, I committed a blunder and that didn't bring me done I had hope that when we go into the penalty shootout I can do something and surely I did something,"
