Black Galaxies of Ghana head coach Didi Dramani says his team must keep a clean sheet against Nigeria in the second leg of their 2024 African Nations (CHAN) qualifier.
Ghana and Nigeria battled to a 0-0 draw in the first leg at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday.
The reverse fixture will hold at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo on Saturday.
Ahead of the encounter, Dramani declared that is is important for his team not to concede.
“As much as possible, we will try to keep a clean sheet but I want to believe that we will surely score,” Dramani stated.
“We will score, we will open up something. I control the energy, the effort, I control the performance (of my boys) but the results, we don’t control it.”
The winner of the tie will qualify to compete at next year’s CHAN tournament that will be held in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.
The Black Galaxies edged out Nigeria on penalties two years ago to secure a spot in the last edition and are seeking for a second consecutive qualification over their West African rivals.
