"Three games, nine points. I am happy, very very happy. I will first congratulate my ladies for making Ghana and myself proud, "I am happy for myself and for Ghana," says Evans Adotey.
He, however, admitted the girls started the first half slowly but played with much intensity in the second half to ensure the victory.
"Of course we had a slow start in the first half, we entered the second half in a very competitive manner. So no wonder we scored two late goals to win the game," coach Evans Adotey said.
