Ghanaian social media users are heaping praise on Black Starlets head coach, Laryea Kingston following his team’s remarkable 27-pass sequence goal against Benin in the WAFU B U17 Cup of Nations final group game on Tuesday.
This exceptional goal, the first in a 2-0 victory, ensured the team’s qualification for the semifinals, where they will face the second-place finisher in Group B.
Under the guidance of Laryea Kingston, the Black Starlets are making waves in the 2024 WAFU Zone B tournament, displaying a style of football that has been absent from Ghana’s youth teams in recent years.
The team not only dominates their opponents but also navigates matches with flair and elegance, built on a foundation of beautiful, expansive football.
The highlight of the game was Theophilus Ayamga’s goal, the culmination of a 27-pass sequence involving nearly every outfield Black Starlets player.
After viewing the video, social media users have lauded Laryea Kingston and his players for reviving the traditional Ghanaian football philosophy known as ‘agroball’.
