The Black Princesses of Ghana drew 1-1 with Nigeria in regulation time. Ghana won the trophy after beating the Nigerians on penalties.

"We did very well we started on a good note and ended on a good note. But many where those who thought we were underdogs when it comes to playing against Nigeria and it is true because they started well they were scoring many goals and playing very well until they had this opposition," he said on Peace FM as monitored by Footballghana.com

"So I will say that in all we all did very well and then I have to commend my girls because this is entirely a new team because there were not privileged to u-17 World Cup. Unlike Nigeria they had most of their players here and then some of the players who participated in Costa Rica u-20,"

"So they had a solid team but this is a new team we are building And I think that I have to commend these girls and then shower a lot of praise on them,"
