Coach Akwasi Appiah has uncharacteristically pounded his chest in the wake of Ghana�s qualification to the finals of the All Africa Games. The Black Meteors lined-up a rematch with South Africa after a hard-fought 1-0 win over the defending champions, Cameroon on Wednesday. The soft-spoken coach who has had to superintend over several difficulties in the team�s build-up which was exacerbated upon arriving in Mozambique, has been quick to tout the immense contribution made by the technical team in achieving the momentous feat. �We (technical team) only had the chance to watch Cameroon for the first time when they played against Senegal,� he said. �We realized they had two very good midfielders of which we fashioned out a strategy to render them ineffective. �We achieved this by making sure we had two players on them and also managed to cut out their supply lines which brought us this victory.� Ghana have now earned the chance to avenge a painful 1-0 loss suffered at the hands of the Amagluglug at the group stage and hopefully similar tactical ingenuity will be implored to win gold for the Black Meteors.
