Football News Ghana Are Worthy Winners – Salisu Yusuf
SEP 25, 2017 LISTEN

Head coach Nigeria, Salisu Yusuf believes Ghana deserve to be crowned winners of the 2017 WAFU competition after his side lost 4:1 against hosts Ghana on Sunday.

The Black Stars “B” took revenge against their bitter rivals in the WAFU competition after Nigeria defeated Ghana in their final Group A clash by 2:0 which propelled them to qualify for the just ended competition.

Stephen Sarfo (brace), Winnful Cobbina and Vincent Atingah scored for the Black Stars while Rabiu Ali's late strike from a free kick proved to be only a consolation.

“We lost to a good team and they (Ghana) deserved to win because they took their chances and it was a good lesson for us,” the former Kano Pillars coach said in his post-match reaction.

Yusuf assessed the overall quality of football on display in the competition.

“For me the level of the competition was high. This is a good preparation for us ahead of the Africa Nations Championship (CHAN). I'm not happy we lost but all the same I'm impressed by the performance of my players in this competition.”
