Former Ghana international Yusif Chibsah has commended the Black Meteors following their 1-0 win over Algeria in Kumasi on Tuesday.
Fatawu Issahaku’s solitary strike at the Baba Yara Stadium ensured Ghana’s qualification to the U23 AFCON in Morocco via a 2-1 aggregate score.
The first leg which was played in Annaba last friday ended 1-1 with Issahaku scoring a beauty from long range.
The result gives Ghana another opportunity to compete for a slot to play at the 2024 Summer Olympics which will staged in Paris.
Ghana missed an Olympic Games ticket narrowly in 2019 after losing on penalties to Ivory Coast in the semi-finals of the last U23 AFCON.
“The game itself was well planned and well managed. What we needed most was the qualification; the players and the technical handlers were able to do that for us though the goals are not many,” Chinsah told Asempa FM.
“This has been 20 years since we last qualified for the Olympic Games. I have been readying myself to hand over the captaincy to the next person but no one is coming.
“It’s been too long since Ghana last qualified for the tournament.”
