“Previously you will easily say Ghana will beat Gambia but now their standard has improved. There is always an element of surprise but we are coming like wounded tigers to secure a win” he said in his pre-match press conference.

Ghana are chasing their fourth AFCON title after wins in 1993, 1999, and 2009.
