Samuel Inkoom is confident Ghana's Black Meteors can turn around their All Africa Games tie with Nigeria and avoid tumbling out of a place at the Games.
Ghana slumped to a 3-1 defeat in the first leg in Benin City after Nigeria came from behind to score three goals in the second half.
The loss to their rivals in the final round of qualifying for the Games makes the return clash at home a more daunting task with Ghana needing two unanswered goals to edge out Nigeria for the sole ticket from Zone III.
Inkoom, who captained the team, says his side are determined to overturn the deficit.
"After the game I spoke to the players and told them it's not over until it's over," he told BBC Sport.
"Ghana against Nigeria is like a derby game - they may have won but we are going back to Ghana to correct our mistakes."
Despite the first leg setback, the Ghana captain is buoyed on by the fact that the Black Meteors team has the experience to ensure their place at the Games.
"This team is more like a family - we do everything together [and] we have a lot of experience in the team," he said.
