Ghana coach targeting third win
Claude Le Roy
Le Roy has guided Ghana to two straight wins in Group A
Ghana coach Claude Le Roy insists his team will go all out for the win when they face Morocco, despite only needing a draw to qualify for the last eight.

The Black Stars top group A after recording their second successive win with a 1-0 victory over Namibia.

And with only one group game remaining Le Roy knows what his team need to do.

"Now we've got Morocco, we only need a draw but we'll play to win," said the Frenchman. "We'll be ready for them on Monday at five o'clock."

After Namibia lost heavily to Morocco in their first game, everyone was expecting the hosts to produce a similar result.

However, the teams were only separated by a Junior Agogo goal and despite Ghana dominating for large periods of the game, the Brave Warriors had chances to claim a draw.

"We may not have played fantastically well but we've still got six points from our first two games," added Le Roy.

"I knew Namibia wouldn't lose 5-1 against us like they did in their first match.

"They were well organised, compact in defence."

Namibia coach Arie Schans said he was proud of his players and was happy with how they responded after that defeat to Morocco.

"This was a big difference to our first game when the players appeared nervous," he said.

"This time we showed we could play good football.

"Now our next goal with a bit of luck will be to pick up three points against Guinea."
