Ghana's Semenyo Aims to Prove Point Against England
Ghana forward Antoine Semenyo stated that the Black Stars are ready to "prove a point" against England in their upcoming FIFA World Cup clash. This follows a tense 1-0 win against Panama, secured by a stoppage-time strike from teammate Caleb Yirenkyi.
Despite the victory, Ghana struggled to control the match, often being forced onto the back foot. Semenyo acknowledged that Ghana was the second-best team during the match and highlighted the difficulties faced in midfield.
Head coach Carlo Queiroz adjusted Semenyo's role during the game to stabilize the team. Semenyo described the chaotic nature of the winning goal, emphasizing the speed of the play and the excitement it generated among players and fans.
He credited the passionate support from Ghanaian fans throughout the match, which contributed to the team's morale. The Black Stars are set to face England on June 23, following England's opening campaign victory over Croatia.
