Jonas Adjetey says it feels amazing to score his first international goal for Ghana after opening the scoring in Thursday’s 2-0 win over Somalia in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

The Wolfsburg defender, who scored his first goal for the Black Stars just before half-time, spoke to the media after the game at the Sekondi Sports Stadium, reflecting on his goal, Ghana’s first clean sheet in four matches, and the return fixture on Monday.

Here is what he said:

On scoring first international goal

It feels amazing, I've been waiting for this moment for some time now, and then I had the support from my teammates, and the rest, they pushed me a little bit, which made it a little bit easier for me to get the score, so I'm really, really excited to get it for the national team.

On keeping first clean sheet in four matches

Everything's new, we can’t control the past results. Unfortunately, we didn't do our best in the previous games, but it doesn't mean we are not good enough, but it happened. It has nothing to do with the individual or something like this, but as you can see, we did our correction in this game, and I think it's good to continue like this. We just need to support each other and we'll get there.

On the next game

As I said, I have nothing much to say, but we'll try our best to play a good game and win the next game.
