Black Starlets boss, Paa Kwesi Fabin has disclosed that he is keen to improve his outfit's goal scoring form in the ongoing FIFA U-17 World Cup following their awesome 2-0 victory over Niger in the round of 16 stage on Wednesday in Mumbai.

Goals from captain Eric Ayiah and Richard Danso sent the two-time world champions through to the next phase of the tournament, where they will square off against Mali who defeated the Starlet in the finals of the Africa Youth Championship in Gabon on Saturday, October 21.

Despite failing to bury the game in the early minutes Paa Kwesi Fabin conceded that goal scoring has been his side's most difficult challenge but they will keep working on it at training before their next match.

"Definitely it is a concern and we are working on it," Fabin told reporters.

"It's a work in progress and definitely when it's an U-17 team, you know that definitely they will keep making such mistakes and I will keep correcting them until we get what we want.

"I'm satisfied with the two goals we scored and in fact, it has taken us to the next stage."

Asked if he harbours any ambition of winning the cup after their victory over the young Menas of Niger, Fabin answered, "Definitely we are here and I believe every team that has qualified hold the mentality to win the trophy so we are thinking alike." he added.
