Sports News 2017 WAFU: My Tactics Functioned Against Niger - Maxwell Konadu
SEP 22, 2017 LISTEN

Head coach of the Black Stars “B”, Maxwell Konadu believes his superior tactics culminated in the 2-0 win over Niger on Thursday night to reach the final of the 2017 WAFU Cup of Nations at the Cape Coast Stadium.

The Black Stars B had the menace in check for the entire duration and scored a goal in each half to set up a final clash with rivals with Nigeria on Sunday.

Kwame Kizito powerfully headed home a corner-kick from six-yards out to open the scoring in the 31st minutes.

Striker Stephen Sarfo then turned in a low right-wing cross from Samuel Safro at close range on 79 minutes.

“It was a tactical game that we needed to be more patient and we were patient enough.” said Konadu.

“We started the buildup gradually and we were very sure that we were going to make it but our opponent came out strongly.

“We knew that they were very good on the ball, but we kept our shape until the very last minute of the game.

“I think that helped us to win the game today. We were very, very tactful.” He added.
