Ghana will qualify in a “surprise way” - Sundowns' Sumaila
The Black Stars guardsman who plays for the
Brazilians of South Africa insists the west
Africans will survive the group stage

Mamelodi Sundowns centre-back Rashid Sumaila is
confident Ghana will beat Algeria and South Africa
to qualify for the next round of the Africa Cup of
Nations 2015.

Sumaila, who was part of Ghana’s 2014 World Cup
squad, believes hard luck cost the Black Stars as
Christian Atsu’s ball which hit the post could
have earned the four-time African champions a
win.

“We have what it takes to beat Algeria and South
Africa. Even the first game against Senegal hard
luck cost us as Atsu's ball which hit the post
could have killed the game,” Sumaila told Goal
Ghana.

“We will qualify in a surprise way people will
never understand. For me there is not much problem
with our defense because we are playing as a
team.”

Sumaila added: “So far Ghana have impressed me
so much. We played well in the first half and what
we should do is to put in more effort in the
second half.”

The gangling centre back has returned to his side
in South Africa after his loan deal with Ghana
giants Asante Kotoko ended.
