Mammoth task for Botswana girls

The Botswana girls face a mammoth task, as they need to score at least five goals to make it to the next round. The team was hammered 4-1 by Ghana in the first leg in Gaborone two weeks ago. Botswana made its debut in the qualifiers by outclassing Lesotho in the previous round. Against Ghana, Botswana had height advantage but failed to capitalise on it. The winner of the game in Accra will face either Cameroon or continental powerhouse Nigeria.

Botswana assistant coach, Michael Oreng told a press conference before the team left that they have learnt a lot of things from their past games. He expressed hope that his charges will do better in the return leg. He acknowledged that Ghana is a strong side but said they will do their best to make it to the next stage. He said that the major problem about his side is stage fright.
