AFCON 2021: Fred Pappoe outlines importance of winning ‘critical’ Gabon clash

 

Management Committee member of the Black Stars, Fred Pappoe has spelt out the importance of winning the second Group C game against Gabon on Friday.

Ghana lost 1-0 to Morocco in their Africa Cup of Nations opener at the Ahmadou Ahidjo stadium on Monday.

Meanwhile Gabon also recorded a 1-0 victory over Comoros in the other group game at the same venue later in the day.

The four-time African Champions must win against the Panthers to stand a chance of making it to the next round of the continental showpiece in Cameroon.

Speaking ahead of the match, Fred Pappoe was confident the Black Stars will come to the party against the Central Africans tomorrow.

”The game against Gabon is going to be a very critical game. We need to win to cement our chances in the tournament by way of qualification and also more importantly as a team we need a victory for ourselves to psychological boost morale. Victory against Gabon is critical but will surely not come easily but I’m sure our team will stand up to the task” he told ghanafa.org
