Hearts of Oak forward Daniel Afriyie couldn’t hide his excitement after captaining Ghana to win the U20 WAFU Zone B Cup in Benin.
The Black Satellites won the trophy after beating Burkina Faso on Saturday.
Kouame Jean Fiacre Botue scored first for the Young Stallions but captain Daniel Afriyie and Precious Boah hit back for the Black Satellites at Stade Charles de Gaulle in Porto-Novo.
“It’s a great joy because Ghana has never won a trophy in the last 5 years. Personally, this is my first ever trophy as a footballer. So, I am very happy to achieve this,” he said.
“We told ourselves that this game was a make-or-break affair for us. We motivated ourselves that we needed this trophy to make a mark.
Black Satellites not only leave Benin with the trophy but also have a qualification ticket for the 2021 Africa U20 Cup of Nations in Mauritania.
