Black Meteors striker, Emmanuel Yeboah, believes the team will come good in the ongoing 2023 U-23 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).<\/p>\n

Ghana on Sunday recorded their first win against Congo at the\u00a0Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat.<\/p>\n

Ernest Nuamah broke the deadlock after a boring first half before substitute, Emmanuel Yeboah scored a brace.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, the Congolese scored two quick goals to end the game 3-2.<\/p>\n

And according to the Club Cluj forward, the Black Meteors will rise to the occasion as the tournament progresses.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I saw the opponents we were going to face, I was delighted because they are powerhouses of African football,\u201d he said after the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is through such strong opposition that we progress. We couldn\u2019t afford to falter today against Congo, and we will gain momentum as the tournament progresses,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Ghana, who sit top of Group A will take on host country, Morocco on Tuesday with kick-off scheduled at 20:00GMT.<\/p>\n
