Ghana coach, Sellas Tetteh says the Black Starlets' win over Colombian that ensured qualification to the round of 16 at the FIFA U-17 World Cup Korea 2007 was a wonderful victory.

The Black Starlets beat Colombia 2-1 in a hotly contested final Group F game in Ulsan on Sunday, a match the Ghana coach describes as the best so far.

"It's a wonderful victory, one we worked very hard for and which came at just the right time.

"I'm very happy with my players, whose performances prove that we're in good form.

"Besides which, I think it was our best game because of the way we reacted to the pressure of having to qualify."

The win secured the Black Starlets a place in the next round with a big game coming up against Brazil on Wednesday in Gwangyang in the round of 16 clash.

And Sellas Tetteh remains bullish of his team's chances against the South Americans.

"As regards Brazil, my lads faced them here in the Eight Nations tournament and drew. We don't fear them because we're good enough to beat them," Sellas Tetteh said.

Ransford Osei, who has so far scored in every game at the competition with four goals to his credit remains confident just like his coach of the task ahead.

The striker also agrees that the performance against Colombia was the team best.

"We're very happy, because we produced our best performance on a day we really needed it to qualify against very high-calibre opponents.

"On a personal note, I'm happy to have scored my fourth goal because I aim to finish the tournament as top scorer. Brazil? We're not scared of anybody."
