You guys have fought a good fight and gave it your all and you touched the hearts, and homes and souls of 30M+ Ghanaians today’’ President Simeon-Okraku told the players after the game.
‘’We don’t have too much to say today but to say how grateful we are for the fight’’.
‘’I really thank you from the bottom of my heart for this victory. It is a very good one; let’s take the positives, all the positives that will come out of this game. I only came to say thank you, we appreciate you a lot’’ he added.
Ghana are now top of the Group I table with 9 points after three victories and one loss in the ongoing FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
