Black Starlets assistant coach Nana Kweku Agyemang has praised his players after they delivered two impressive clean-sheet victories in pre-tournament friendlies against Division One League opponents. The Starlets secured a 1-0 win over Port City before returning to the Accra Sports Stadium later on Wednesday, February 18, to claim a 2-0 victory over Koforidua Semper Fi. Speaking after the matches, Agyemang highlighted the defensive improvement shown by his young charges, particularly after conceding in previous friendly outings. "We want to know how they react when they are playing against these sides. "The fact that they didn't concede, that's good," he said. "Last week we played against Na God and another team. I think we conceded in both games. Although we still won, but we conceded in both games." "So, the fact that this time around they didn't conceit tells a lot about the work that we are doing at the moment. I think that the boys did well." Captain Joseph Narbi opened the scoring in the first match against Port City, setting the tone for a productive day for the Starlets as they continue preparations for the 2026 U-17 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. With the tournament now just weeks away, the technical team will be encouraged by the growing cohesion and defensive solidity shown by the squad.
