A 7-0 first leg win gives Ghana a convincing lead going into the return game of the FIFA U-17 World Cup final qualifying against Tunisia.

The Black Maidens were on a high twelve days ago in Accra as they easily dispatched the North African side, giving them the edge ahead of the reverse game on Sunday.

Ghana coach, Abraham Allotey achieved his masterstroke through his team talk and believes another lecture before the game could finally seal a place for the Black Maidens, who are on the brink of completing a second successive appearance at the World Cup.

“It’s almost a done deal. We have to be confident about our chances and stick to our game.

“We know how important it (return game) is. So just after the first match, we still stayed in camp to plan for this (Sunday) game by using the artificial pitch at the Tema Park to prepare,” Ghana’s coach Allotey told www.ghanafa.org just before boarding his flight from Accra to Tunis on Wednesday night.

There were times in the first leg when Ghana looked like scoring more goals before the final whistle but had to settle for seven goals.

Allotey insists that the Black Maidens have the character not to lose sight of the task ahead as he expects the hosts to play for a massive win.

“Seven-nil was a big scoreline for us. But we are playing away from home and they would have their fans behind them. Its football and we know complacency can ruin our chances of reaching Trinidad & Tobago.

“I am very confident that our hard work will see us through. There’s a big chance of playing in the World Cup and we have 90 minutes to decide our participation. We must play for it and our character will be crucial.”

Ghana’s coach might be highly confident but will have to do without Priscilla Okyere and reserve goalkeeper, Ayishetu Simpson through injuries; Allotey believes Ghana will never fall short in their approach to the game.

“Priscilla took a knock and the medical staff having been working with her but unfortunately she couldn’t make it. For Ayishetu, it’s a problem with the knee.

“Both are out for the game but we can still get the job done.”

The weekend’s game is the final African qualifying for the World Cup with the continent assured on two slots.

Ghana made its debut in the age-category competition two years ago in New Zealand and are close to making the finals in Trinidad & Tobago later in September.
