Black Meteors midfielder, Emmanuel Lomotey says he and his teammates are certain of victory ahead of their third-place game against South Africa on Friday.

That game is crucial to Ghana’s chances of qualification to next year’s Olympics to be staged in Tokyo, Japan.

After losing the semi- final game to Ivory Coast on penalties in the ongoing U-23 Afcon, Lomotey still believes that they can turn things around in tomorrow’s game.

"I will assure Ghanaians of victory in our game against South Africa", he told Bryt FM in an interview.

"The game is very important for the players, technical team and Ghanaians at large and so we are going into the game with all the seriousness to qualify.

"We will go all out and qualify for Tokyo 2020. I think victory will be ours tomorrow in our last game of the competition,"

He then apologized to Ghanaians after failing to book a place in the final in the ongoing U23 AFCON but says all hope is not lost as they aim to qualify as the third best country for Tokyo 2020.
