I am however impressed with the quality of women’s football on the continent as both sides played good football – it’s just a pity there were no goals.“I believe we have an advantage going into the second leg at home. We know what we must do to win and ensure we book ourselves a ticket to Azerbaijan.”The Black Maidens are chasing one of the three final slots for places in Azerbaijan 2012.Qualification to the World Cup will make it a third successive appearance for Ghana on the world stage.
