“We played against Egypt in the first game but we lost and we have learnt a lot from that game. They are not that good but just some few mistakes from us led to our defeat.
But we are hopeful of beating Egypt tomorrow to qualify to the Semis” she told Starr Sport
Before the Egypt encounter, the team will first play against Defending Champions Algeria who have had an unblemished run in the competition so far.
Meanwhile the Ghana Men’s Goalball team will also face Egypt in the final playoff on Friday to secure qualification to the semi-final.
