The Ghana team came in strongly but we were prepared for them. After holding them, we switched to our style and that resulted in the two goals in the second half. \u201cIt is a positive result and it gives enough confidence to my players. No one gave us a chance against Ghana, but we proved our doubters wrong.\u201d<br \/>\nCoach Ngomane explained that the opening performance serves a good sign in line with their ambition to go farthest at the tournament meant for footballers playing in their countries of birth. \u201cThe victory is a sign that we can do more, and there is still room to improve. The result came as a result of hard work and I commend my team on that.\u201d<br \/>\nThe Amabinneplaas coach has also warned his charges to avoid complacency whilst urging them to maintain their focus in the remaining games. South Africa next play fellow debutants Niger, who beat Zimbabwe by a lone goal next Wednesday in Wad Madany, whilst Ghana engages Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Africa coach, Simon Ngomane has lauded his players tactical discipline in their 2-1 win over Ghana\u2019s Black Stars in their Group B opener of the 2011 African Nations Championship (CHAN) on Saturday, in Wad Madany, Sudan.
