WAFU B U-17 Championship: Golden Eaglets coach confident of victory over Niger Republic

Black Starlets' head coach Kassim Ocansey expressed satisfaction with his team's victory over Benin in the ongoing WAFU B U17 Championship. Despite securing a 3-1 win, Ocansey acknowledged that the team still requires further improvement. He pointed out that their loss of concentration after taking a 2-0 lead allowed Benin to reduce the deficit and come back into the game, scoring a goal.

Ocansey emphasized the team's strong comeback in the second half, where they scored a third goal to finish the match on a high note. He praised his players for enhancing their finishing skills during training, although he believed they could have scored more goals. The coach reiterated that while scoring three goals is commendable, there is still room for further development.

The win provides additional motivation for the Black Starlets as they progress in the WAFU B U17 Championship, with Ocansey and his team focusing on overall performance improvements ahead of their remaining matches. The tournament serves as a stepping stone for teams to secure qualification for the U-17 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
