Black Stars interim coach Kim Lars Bjrkegren says Ghana must beat Somalia again on Monday to collect all six points from their November double-header and get their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign back on track.Ghana host Somalia at the Essipong Sports Stadium after winning the first meeting 2-0 on Thursday, thanks to goals from Jonas Adjetey and Felix Afena-Gyan.Bjrkegren believes the Black Stars have the quality to compete at the next AFCON but insists their immediate focus must be on securing another victory.The most important thing is to make sure we take six points in this camp, he said.The Swedish coach wants his players to start strongly and make better use of their chances in the return fixture.I do think the most important thing is to start strongly and take our chances. Then maybe we can think about scoring three goals or more, he added.Bjrkegren also believes Ghana can go all the way if they qualify for the tournament, although he acknowledged the difficulty of achieving that ambition.The potential in the group is huge and so high, and I think if we qualify for the AFCON, we can go all the way. But it’s so hard to do, and hopefully, we can win tomorrow to make it six points and get back on track, he said.Ghana entered the November window without a point after losing their opening two Group C qualifiers against Cte d’Ivoire and The Gambia. Monday’s return fixture gives them another chance to improve their position.
