The head coach of the Black Queens, Nora Hauptle, remains optimistic about her team’s chances to secure a victory against the Copper Queens of Zambia in the qualifiers for the 2024 Olympic Games.
Despite a 1-0 defeat in the first leg held in Ghana, Coach Nora Hauptle believes the tie is still wide open.
In a post-match interview, she expressed her confidence in her team’s ability to turn things around in the upcoming second leg to be played in Zambia.
“There are two games, another 90 minutes to go. I think we did well how we started the game. Ghana had possession today, Ghana played football today, and the Queens were showing that we are able to play amazing football.
“For me, it’s important we build on this performance. The players showed a lot of our values, and team teamwork, I think there was a passion to win this game, a passion to play football. Another 90 minutes to go and I’m convinced if we put one goal in it will explode,” Coach Nora Hauptle stated.
The second leg between the Black Queens and the Copper Queens is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, February 28.
