Former Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan has heaped praise on Black Starlets coach Laryea Kingston following the team's second consecutive win in the ongoing WAFU B U-17 tournament.
The Black Starlets secured a 2-0 victory over Benin to maintain their position at the top of Group A.
The match started with Benin looking like they could cause an upset, but playmaker Mark Kagawa changed the narrative by scoring the opening goal in the 20th minute, much to the delight of the spectators.
Two minutes later, Theophilus Ayamga increased Ghana's lead with a stunning strike after capitalizing on a rebound.
After the game, Asamoah Gyan took to his official X page to express his admiration for Laryea Kingston's coaching abilities. "I told this man he will be one of the best coaches in Ghana and beyond, the first time I saw his tactics. This is the beginning of greatness. It’s just a process. Keep going," Gyan tweeted.
