Competition: 2011 All African Games Qualifier
Teams: Ghana v Nigeria
Venue: Baba Yara Stadium - Kumasi
Date: July 10, 2011
Time: 15:00 GMT
Ghana and Nigeria will square off in the decisive last round of qualifying of the 2011 All African Games on July 10 with the Black Meteors needing to overturn a first leg deficit.
The Black Meteors are chasing the game as they trail Nigeria 1-3 from the first leg.
Coach of the Ghana side Kwesi Appiah is confident his team can reach the finals of the Games in Mozambique but says there will be no margin for error when they take on their rivals at the Baba Yara Stadium.
"It will be a very tough game and we will have to be at our best to get through," the Ghana coach said.
Ghana has score two unanswered goals to secure the sole Zone III ticket to the Games and for Appiah, it means taking the game to their rivals while keeping a solid backline.
"We must attack as much as possible but the crucial thing is that we don't lose our discipline and our tactical awareness. So while we attack, we must defend cleverly."
Though Nigeria represents a tough test, the Black Meteors remain very hopeful of taking their chances.
