As anticipation mounts for the highly awaited second leg clash between Ghana's Black Princesses and Senegal in the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup qualifiers, Coach Yussif Basigi emphatically asserts that the return fixture holds greater significance than their initial encounter.
After a convincing 2-0 victory on Senegalese soil, the Black Princesses are poised for a fierce battle at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday, January 21, 2024, at 4:00 pm.
"The players have talked to themselves and also accepted the fact that the return leg is more crucial than the first leg so they are coming all out and play with all seriousness," he said.
"There is less pressure on the coaches and the players. We are not going to underrate our opponents because they are a good side," he added.
The Black Princesses are eager to maintain their winning streak and clinch a spot in the prestigious FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Colombia.
Talented attacker Tracy Twum emerged as the star of the first encounter, netting both goals against Senegal. Riding high on this success, the Black Princesses are poised for a compelling performance on their home turf at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
A win on Sunday, January 21, 2024, at 4:00 pm, will not only cement their dominance over Senegal but also secure their seventh consecutive appearance at the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.
