“I only urge my teammates to keep the momentum they had that led to our win against Malawi and we shall get a positive result against Ghana,” she said.

On her part, midfielder Vivian Corazone Aquino, called upon fans to offer them support as they do their best in the competition.

“To the fans, I urge them to come in large numbers and support us as we play Ghana since it serves a great motivation to us as the players,” she said.
