Speaking after the game, Adriano Eusébio praised the Black Stars after the win and said they were the best team in the group.
“Ghana is the best African team of the moment, they’ve got the national team playing very well in this group,” the coach said.
He added, “We did two individual mistakes in the first half which made Ghana score but we improved in the second half and we did our best in the second half. At the end of the game we scored and it was important for us.”
São Tomé and PrÃncipe who were participating in the AFCON Qualifiers for the first time failed to win any match or pick up a point in Group C.

“This group was very strong, Ghana South Africa and Sudan but for me, Ghana was the big shark of the group,” coach Eusébio concluded.
