Afcon 2015: Grant turns focus on South African clash
Ghana turn their focus on South Africa in
Tuesday's decisive Africa Cup of Nations Group C
clash.

Avram Grant's side produced a late 1-0 win over
Algeria in Mongomo last Friday to go second in the
group, a result which eased the pressure after an
opening 2-1 loss to Senegal.

A win over South Africa will send the Black Stars
through to the last-eight of the competition,
while a draw and Algeria failing to beat Senegal
on the same night could also get them past the
group stage.

Despite the permutations, Grant remains confident
in his 'young' team as they prepare for the clash
against a South African team chasing their first
win.

"Nothing has been decided yet in this group," the
Ghana coach, Grant insisted.

"Yes, we may have beaten the number one team in
Africa, but we now face South Africa, who
qualified for this tournament ahead of a big team
like Nigeria.

"They played very well in their first game even
though they eventually lost (3-1) to Algeria. They
are a fantastic team.

"We are a young team who have shown we do not give
up and so we will come into any game to win it."
