Black Queens head coach Kim Lars Bjorkegren has praised his side’s ability to create and finish chances after Ghana completed a 10-0 aggregate victory over Mauritius in the African qualifiers for the 2028 Olympic Games.
Ghana secured a commanding 7-0 win in the second leg of their second-round qualifying tie, following a 3-0 victory away from home in the first meeting. The result ensured the Black Queens progressed comfortably to the next stage of the campaign.
Bjorkegren was particularly encouraged by the way his players turned their attacking opportunities into goals. Ghana maintained sustained pressure on Mauritius and repeatedly found openings in the final third before converting their dominance into a decisive scoreline.
The Swedish coach’s satisfaction extended beyond the number of goals scored. He was also pleased with the movement, attacking intent and composure shown by the players as they worked to create opportunities and take advantage of them.
The performance demonstrated Ghana’s ability to maintain an attacking threat throughout the match. With progression at stake, the Black Queens delivered a display that provided further encouragement to Bjorkegren and his technical team ahead of the more demanding stages of Olympic qualifying.
Their efficiency in front of goal was central to the result, with the 7-0 victory reflecting both the volume of chances created and the players’ ability to finish them. Ghana’s control of the contest allowed them to extend their advantage and secure a comfortable win on the night.
The 10-0 aggregate success gives the Black Queens a positive platform as they continue their attempt to reach the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. The result also underlined the importance of combining chance creation with clinical finishing as the qualifying campaign develops.
Bjorkegren and his technical team will now look to build on the performance while continuing to improve other areas of the side. Ghana’s next stage will require consistency and discipline, as well as the attacking sharpness that helped them overcome Mauritius.
The Black Queens will therefore move forward with confidence from their emphatic aggregate victory, but with the understanding that sustained progress will depend on maintaining their standards in front of goal and across the team. Their ambition remains to secure a historic place at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games.
