Black Queens' coach Yusif Basigi has described his attack as lacking sharpness despite the team’s 3-0 win over Egypt in the Olympic Games qualifier duel at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday.

Portia Boakye, Jane Ayieyam and Elizabeth Addo scored to wrap up a 4-1 aggregate score-line for the Queens but Basigi whose side will meet Cameroon in the third round of the qualifiers told GNA Sports that “Our attack is not as sharp as I desire.

“I am planning to beef it up for the match with Cameroon. I plan extending an invitation to Elizabeth Kudjoe who is playing currently in Oklahoma to support the attack.”

Ghana, looking for a median appearance at the Olympic Games will need to defeat Cameroon over two legs to qualify for the Rio 2016 gathering. Basigi said "We expected a difficult game because per what we saw in the first leg, Egypt is not a bad side. We may be ahead of team individually, but tactically they are very good.

"They obviously wanted to sit back and take us on the counter but we planned a good strategy for that and it worked for us.”

He said the team will seek to improve on their entire output ahead of the next phase fixture billed for next month.
