Nora Hauptle, the head coach of Ghana's Black Queens, expressed her joy after the team secured a victory against Namibia on Friday.
The match, held at Accra Sports Stadium, saw Doris Boaduwaa's brace and Portia Boakye's strike leading to a 3-1 win in the first leg of the 2024 Women Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Acknowledging the support and a beautiful goal by their "capito," Hauptle, though satisfied with the win, admitted to facing challenges early in the game. Recognizing the pressure, she emphasized that despite not delivering the best performance, the team's success brought a sense of accomplishment.
"Thank you for the support. I think in the beginning of the game there was some difficulty. We scored a beautiful goal, our capito. I think this is a special moment."
"This is probably not the best performance but you need to understand that there is pressure and it’s a lot. Of course, we should have scored more. I’m satisfied,” Coach Nora Hauptle said.
Looking ahead, the reverse fixture is set to unfold in Namibia on Tuesday, December 5, promising another chapter in this thrilling football journey.
