They won 4-0 against Tanzania before drawing drawing 0-0 with group winners Morocco, but it was their final day 2-1 loss at the hands of Gambia that dipped them to third in the standings.

Speaking at a post-match presser, Danlad said, "Whenever Ghana meets Cameroon it is always like a World Cup final between both teams."

"We know that this is a quarter final and it will be a tough match, but we are ready to go in fully and give our all for victory."
