Head coach of Ghana’s female senior team, Kim Lars Bjorkegren has stated that his team could have scored more goals in its win over Malawi in the pre-Women's Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament friendly game.

The Black Queens defeated Malawi 3-1 in the first of three friendly games on Saturday evening. Speaking after the win, Bjorkegren was pleased with the effort of his team but believed they could have scored more goals.

“The start was probably a little bit slow, but otherwise, we were the better team the whole game," he said.

"We produced so many chances, we won the game 3-1, but if you are looking at the chances, we could have scored probably six, seven today, but the most important thing is to win,” Bjorkegren added.

Ghana will face Benin who replaced Botswana on Wednesday June 25, before wrapping up their friendly games against rival Nigeria four days later.

The Black Queens of Ghana have been drawn in Group C alongside South Africa, Tanzania and Mali at the AFCON.
