Head coach of the female senior national football team Yusif Basigi has showered praises on his players after their 1-0 win over South Africa in the 3rd place play-off of the 2016 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.
The Black Queens secured bronze after beating Bayana Bayana in the third place match on Friday at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium in Yaounde.
Defender Linda Eshun netted the only goal just after recess to ensure the Black Queens went home with some pride, after yet again failing to break the jinx as far as the ultimate at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations is concerned.
Coach Basigi however says he is impressed with what the ladies have achieved for themselves and the nation Ghana.
“We prepared to come for the ultimate but it didn’t happen and the only option left was the bronze medal which we won and I’m impressed with the attitude of my players.”
The Black Queens will be heading back home to prepare for the next edition of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations to be hosted by Ghana in 2018.
