‘Beating Ghana did not surprise me’ – Gambia boss

Gambia head coach Jonathan McKinstry says his side’s remarkable 4-2 victory over Ghana in Accra did not come as a surprise, despite the Scorpions recovering from two goals down to stun the Black Stars.“Winning the game did not surprise me, but getting the fourth goal was very pleasing because these games away from home on the continent usually mean you have to hold out for the win.

McKinstry believes his previous experience in Ghana, including his time with the Right to Dream Academy, gave him valuable insight into the country’s football culture and helped him anticipate how the Black Stars would respond as the game unfolded.
