Black Stars goalkeeper Richard Ofori says the team is determined to beat South Africa in their World Cup qualifier later today in Johannesburg.
The Bafana Bafana will host the Black Stars in matchday 2 of the qualifiers at the FnB stadium.
Ghana are on top of Group G after beating Ethiopia in the opener, with South Africa and Zimbabwe having a point each due to their stalemate last Friday.
Despite the absence of some key players Ofori believes his side can emerge as winners in the much-anticipated game.
“I can’t say we have an advantage over them because now a day’s football changed, everyone knows how to play. I remember the previous tournament we went at the AFCON, Madagascar performed so it means every country can play and but it’s just a matter of who want it more” he said the pre-match conference.
“I know my colleagues and we’ve being together for a couple of days and then we want it badly so at the end of the day is just a matter of who want it more and is determination and we are determined for the game. We hope everything go on well on the field of play so that at the end of the we will make our country proud that is the most important thing” he said.
After missing the 2018 event in Russia, Ghana has set their sights on returning to the World Cup.
The Black Stars reached the world showpiece in Germany 2006 where they were making their first appearance.
They then went on to reach the Round of 16.
They secured a qualification ticket for the South African 2010 edition. This campaign saw them reach the quarter-finals, where they were defeated by Uruguay.
They made their third consecutive appearance at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil but they were forced to exit at the group stage for the first-time.
