Bismark Kobby-Mensah, the Assistant Coach of Ghana’s Black Galaxies, on Saturday, said his team did not have it easy beating Nigeria to qualify for the 2022 African Nations Championship (CHAN).
Recall that Nigeria’s Super Eagles Team B failed to qualify for the 2022 CHAN after losing 4-5 to Ghana via a penalty shootout.

Kobby-Mensah, who spoke to newsmen during a post-match conference, expressed joy at his team’s victory, admitting however that it was a very difficult match against Nigeria.
“It’s a great feeling because for some years now we have not been able to qualify.
“Coming here and playing against Nigeria, even though we took a good lead from the first leg, which was not a commanding one, wasn’t easy. This is because we know Nigeria are a very good side.
“So, coming here we knew it was always going to be difficult, and it was indeed a pulsating encounter. However, I think that we gave some easy goals away.
“But at the end of the day, we just wanted to qualify and we have done just that and we are all happy,” he said.
The coach recalled that the team’s head Coach, Annor Walker, had predicted that it was going to be difficult for Nigeria to turn things around.
