Black Starlets coach, Laryea Kingston, has expressed concerns about the University of Ghana Stadium's condition, stating it hindered his team's performance against Benin.
Ghana's U-17 side secured a victory in their second game, topping Group A and advancing to the semifinals of the WAFU B U-17 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
In contrast to their previous match against Cote d'Ivoire, where they netted five goals, Kingston's team managed only two goals on Wednesday afternoon.
Despite being pleased with the overall performance, Kingston noted that the pitch's state presented challenges for his team.
"I want us to be calm. The way we want to play requires a calm approach, but sometimes it’s very difficult," Kingston commented post-match. "The ball moves slowly on the pitch, which affected our play."
"However, I believe we dominated today more than we did against Ivory Coast."
The Black Starlets aim to maintain their unbeaten streak as they prepare for the semifinals.
