Ghanaian midfielder Alhassan Wakaso says he is delighted with his side’s mental fortitude after they fought to win 2-1 against Pacos de Ferreira.
Two first half goals from Marcelo and Heldon gave Ave the advantage in the first half but a second half strike from Helder Lopes gave the home side Pacos de Ferreira some hope.
But Ave remained resolute to see off the challenge and Wakaso says the team showed tremendous mental strength to hold on to their victory.
“The team did very well and I must say we showed so much mental strength,” Alhassan said
“It’s not easy going away to get a victory but I think the team did very well.”
