2018 AWCON: Pressure from fans led to chances missed - Priscilla Okyere

Black Queens midfielder Priscilla Okyere admitted the gigantic fans on the opening match of the 2018 Africa Women’s Cup of Nations (AWCON) against Algeria brought massive pressure on the team.

Priscilla Okyere disclosed that the Black Queens were under pressure to impress following the enormous fans at the Stadium on Saturday.

The Black Queens recorded a  1-0 win over Algeria at the Accra Sports Stadium in the 2018 AWCON opener following a thunderous strike by Gladys Amfobea.

The outfit, however, spurned decent opportunities to win the game by a large margin, and according to the midfielder, Okyere, The Black Queens felt the pressure playing in front of the large home fans.
