Ghana U17 Coach Paa Kwesi Fabin says his side took their chances to defeat Cameroon 4-0 in their opening game of the Africa U17 Nations Cup.
 
The Black Starlets took off to a perfect start with the massive victory over their Cameroonian counterparts at the Port Gentil Stadium on Sunday evening.

Two goals each from skipper Eric Eyiah and Ibrahim Sulley was all the former Champions needed to pick the three points.

Paa Kwesi Fabin has attributed his side’s victory to their ability to make use of the opportunities that came his way.

“I must also congratulate Cameroon for giving us a very good match though we took our chances and won 4-0 and just as I noted during the pre-match conference, we are one united football family despite the fact that we had won today, he said in a post-match press intereview.

“Cameroon started well but the turning point was the first goal we scored which gave our boys the confidence and they never looked back but it was when we scored the fourth goal that I knew that the match was won and lost. 

“We want to focus on the next match and hopefully with a win, we can talk about qualification for the World Cup.”

Ghana must win their next game against Gabon to confirm their place at the World Cup and also maintain their hopes of winning the trophy for the first time in 18 years.
