U23 Afcon qualifiers: Ghana's Tekpetey upbeat ahead of Algeria decider

Ghana attacker Bernard Tekpetey believes they have every chance to upset Algeria in Algiers on Tuesday to secure a ticket for the 2019 Africa U23 Cup of Nations, which will, in turn, serve as qualifiers for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

Following a disappointing 1-1 home draw in the first leg of the final qualifying round encounter, the Black Meteors are expected to face a tough challenge from the North Africans, who recorded a 3-1 home win in the second round to make the final phase.

The aggregate winners after both legs join six other teams and hosts Egypt for the final tournament between November 8 and 22.
