Cameroon coach Enow Ngachu says his side are not under pressure ahead of Tuesday's semi-final showdown against Ghana in Yaounde at the Africa Women Cup of Nations.

The Indomitable Lionesses are favourites to advance to the final on home soil after winning all three Group stage matches and kept a clean sheet.

They will also have massive backing from the fans who have been unrelenting in their support since the start of the competition.

''We are very serene. Our goal is clear, win our five games and have the trophy. We are on the right track with our first three wins and I think, against Ghana, the momentum will not be broken,'' Ngachu said.

''We are playing in Cameroon and the fans have always been present with us. The pride of a technical team is when the players are in good shape.

''Against Ghana, we will the best player capable of winning for us. The fact that the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations is played on hour home soil requires us to win the trophy, which has led us to focus on mental preparation.

''In 2004, we eliminated Ghana in the semi-finals and lost the final against Nigeria. The context is certainly different but the desire to win is stronger because we will have 40,000 supporters to push us to victory.''
