Head coach of Ghana’s U20 side the Black Satellites, Mas-wud Didi Dramani remains optimistic over the chances of his side to qualify ahead of Ethiopia in the 2017 U20 Afcon qualifier.

The Black Satellites will host their Ethiopian counterparts on Sunday at the new Cape Coast Sports Stadium on Sunday in the return leg of the qualifier.

Ghana lost the first leg by a narrow 2-1 score line away in Adis Ababa but the trainer insists his side will secure a ticket to the next stage of the competition on Sunday.

“I commended the boys for a good job in the first leg. Even those of us on the bench were tired because of the altitude so they did well.

“Securing the qualification is our ultimate goal and I am very hopeful that we will qualify on Sunday,” Didi Dramani said.
