Ghana's women's U-20 team are eyeing a last round berth when they take on South Africa on Saturday in the second leg of the second qualifying round of the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.
The Black Princesses, holding a 2-0 first leg advantage will be looking to conclude the return game at the El-Wak Stadium with victory to keep alive their hopes of reaching the world stage.
Florence Dadson and Elizabeth Addo gave Ghana the first leg win against the Basetsana fortnight ago but coach of the Black Princesses, Robert Sackey insists they are not getting ahead of themselves.
"We hold the lead from the first leg but we are not done with the tie yet. There's everything to play for and I expect the South African's to really test us at home," Sackey said ahead of Saturday's reverse game.
Qualification over South Africa will take the Black Princesses within touching distance of a place at the World Cup to be staged in Japan later in August.
Eight countries including Ghana are involved in the second knockout round from which there will be a last round of qualifiers to produce Africa’s two representatives.
The Black Princesses made their World Cup debut in the Germany 2010 U-20 Women's World Cup finals.
