Sarpong: Ghana and South Africa will take World Cup qualification battle to the wire

Veteran Ghanaian coach JE Sarpong believes the West African nation must prepare for a “difficult” climax in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers as they are set for a clash with South Africa next month.

The Black Stars are set to play Ethiopia away on the penultimate matchday before returning home to host Hugo Broos’ side on the final day.

In what is unarguably a fierce contest between the Black Stars and Bafana Bafana for the sole qualification ticket to the next round of the African qualifiers, the two teams occupy the top two positions in Group G, with the latter leading by a point lead.
