Ghana Captain Counting On Home Advantage Against DRC
Ghana captain Jordan Opoku says playing their quarter-final at �home� Bloemfontein against DR Congo could play to their advantage.
The local Black Stars extended their stay in Bloemfontein after topping Group C with seven points.
They will host the Leopards, who played all matches in Polokwane and finished runners in Group D, at the Free State Stadium in Mangaung on Sunday.
�It is some kind of advantage. We have stayed in Bloemfontein for some time. We�re familiar with the people; the fans and the pitch,�� Opoku said.
''At the end of the day, we will go all out to win. That is what we will do. We want to win the trophy.�
Opoku was a member of the Ghana team which beat DR Congo 3-0 in the Group stage but lost 2-0 in the final of the maiden tournament hosted by Ivory Coast in 2009.
