Head coach of the Black Satellites, Desmond Ofei, says his side is focused on the World Cup qualification ambition following their win over Senegal on Monday night.
Ghana claimed a narrow 1-0 win over the defending champions in their second game at the ongoing U-20 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament in Egypt.
Emmanuel Mensah scored the only goal of the game in the first half to secure Ghana's first win in the competition.
Despite the performance not being convincing, Ofei was pleased to get the result.
"Our main goal is to qualify for the World Cup. That’s the focus. Each match and positive result takes us a step closer," he said after the game.
The gaffer also praised the commitment of his team in getting over the line against Senegal.
"Senegal came at us with a very direct and physical approach. It wasn’t easy, but our players showed great tactical discipline and fighting spirit throughout the game," he added.
Ghana face Central African Republic in their final group game on Thursday.
