Black Meteors goalkeeper Ibrahim Danlad is optimistic ahead of Ghana’s next game against Morocco in the U-23 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) on Tuesday.
Both teams have three points following Morocco’s win against Guinea in the opening game followed by Ghana’s victory over Congo on Sunday.
Ghana took a comfortable 3-0 lead but almost gave it all away as the Congolese came through with two late goals to end the game 3-2 after an exciting encounter.
Ibrahim Danlad is however hopeful his team will learn from their mistakes and go all out for the next game.

According to him, they are aware a win against Morocco will qualify them to the next stage which is why they will stay focused on attaining their goal.
“We know what is at stake tomorrow. If we win, we qualify to the next stage of the competition,” he said.
“We will just learn from our mistakes from the previous game. We will go all out and concentrate for 90 minutes and we know we will win.”
After the game against Morocco, the team will play their final group game against Guinea as they aim to pick one of the three available slots to the Olympic Games to be held next year in Paris.
