“Preparations have been good for now and I can assure you that we are ready for a convincing win on Saturday in order to make the second leg a mere formality.” Cobblah told Graphic sports online

“It was not too good when we started concerning the players because they were a bit rusty as there was no football in the country,”

The winner of the two-leg games will qualify to the 2019 Under 20 AFCON slated for Niger.

Ghana will welcome Benin to the Cape Coast Sports Stadium on Saturday August 4 for the first encounter.
