Black Queens head coach Kim Lars Björkegren says his team must make things difficult for Algeria ahead of their quarterfinal clash at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
Ghana secured their place in the quarterfinals after a commanding 4-1 victory over Tanzania in their final Group C match.
Their opponents, Algeria, progressed from a tough Group B featuring 11-time champions Nigeria, Tunisia, and Botswana without conceding a single goal.
“Algeria are a really well-organized team, especially in defense, and they have a good goalkeeper,” Björkegren said.
“We’ve talked about the need to make it a little more difficult for her.
“We can’t just shoot from 45 meters and hope for the best. We need to create better chances and be clinical when those opportunities come no need to look for fancy goals.
“It’s going to be a difficult game, but I believe in the players. I’m sure they’ll put in a good performance.”
The Black Queens will take on the Fennecs of Algeria at the Stade de Berkane on Saturday July 19.
