James Akaminko was Ghana’s standout player in their Wafu Cup of Nations opening victory over The Gambia, according to Scorpions skipper Ebrima Sidibeh.
Joseph Esso scored the only goal of the game as the Black Stars into the quarter-finals of the cup competition, where they will play Burkina Faso in Thies on Friday.
“Ghana’s number eight Akaminko really impressed me,” Sidibeh told Goal. “He was so free at the beginning of the game, so he saw a lot of the ball.
“After that, we realised there was no one tracking him, so we had to change things immediately.
