U20 Afcon: Ghana coach Zito excited about shattering status quo with big Tanzania win

Ghana coach Abdul Karim Zito believes their strong start to the Africa U20 Cup of Nations in Mauritania is a big confidence boost for the rest of the group stage campaign.

The Black Satellites opened their tournament with a 4-0 thrashing of Tanzania in a Group C fixture at Stade Municipal de Nouadhibou, the win lifting the side to the top of the table.

Dreams striker Percious Boah scored twice while Abdul Fatawu Issahaku and Schalke 04 attacker Joselpho Barnes added a goal each to seal three points.
