Ghana's Obeng reflects on performance at U23 Afcon

Ghana striker Samuel Obeng is overwhelmed by his exploits at the recent Africa U23 Cup of Nations in Egypt.

A surprise inclusion in the Black Meteors' final squad for the tournament, the Spain-based frontman emerged among the tournament surprise packages, seizing a substitute appearance in the opening game to play his way into a starting role for the rest of the competition.

He ended the championship with two goals and also contributed two assists and a sumptuous 'Panenka' during a shoot-out in a semi-final defeat to Cote d'Ivoire.

"To have gone is something very positive for me in many aspects, but what makes me more proud is that we function as a collective," Obeng told Elcomercio.
