Ahead of Golden Kick FC's matchup with Asante Kotoko in the MTN FA Cup final, head coach Fiifi Parker Hanson is unfazed.
At 17:00 GMT on Sunday, the University of Ghana Sports Stadium will host the underdog team's matchup with the Porcupine Warriors.
Parker Hanson told Sporty FM that there is no reason to be afraid of taking on another Premier League powerhouse and previous FA Cup champions after defeating elite teams Karela United and Hearts of Oak.
"We have already played Hearts of Oak, therefore playing Asante Kotoko in the MTN FA Cup final is not the biggest game we have played," he stated.
The victor of the final on Sunday will have the opportunity to play for Ghana in the CAF Confederation Cup in 2025–2026.
Let us turn our attention to one more significant event from today's games.
Senegal gives the African squad their first-ever defeat of England.
With goals from Ismaïla Sarr, Habib Diarra, and Cheikh Sabaly, Senegal defeated England 3-1 in a friendly at Nottingham's City Ground on Tuesday, becoming the first African team to defeat England in 22 games.
While England's setback, which included Jude Bellingham's disallowed late goal for a handball in the build-up, was their first loss in four games under new manager Thomas Tuchel, Senegal extended their winning streak to 24 games.
"Not good enough," Harry Kane, the captain, said to ITV. "We had our moments, but we are struggling to establish the proper speed and click both with and without the ball. We are no longer as aggressive as we once were.
After Senegal goalkeeper Édouard Mendy saved Anthony Gordon's effort but spilled the ball into the striker's path, Kane scored in the seventh minute to give England, who had made ten changes from their 1-0 drab World Cup qualifying victory over Andorra, the lead.
In the 40th minute, Sarr poked in Nicolas Jackson's cross after catching Kyle Walker dozing off, giving the home team their first goal under Tuchel.
When Diarra grabbed a ball over the top and shot through goalkeeper Dean Henderson's legs in the 62nd minute, the visitors doubled their lead. After the final whistle, England fans jeered Sabaly's goal deep into stoppage time.
Kane stated, "We know we need to be better, but we are not going to panic." "There are fresh concepts and players joining the squad who lack international experience.
"There are no excuses, but it is a combination of factors. As the World Cup quickly approaches, we need to prepare for it. At this point, every camp is crucial.
Senegal hammered Henderson with nine shots on goal compared to England's four, including Sarr's early header that the goalie missed.
In the first half, Gordon wasted a fantastic opportunity to give England a two-goal lead when he missed Walker's close-range cross.
Before Senegal added their third, Mendy made a fantastic last-minute stop to deny England what would have been an equalizer from Bukayo Saka.
The statement from Tuchel was, "Disappointing result, not sure if maybe did not deserve a little bit more result-wise." However, I felt somewhat immobile once more and was inactive for a significant portion of the game.
"We wanted to improve our defense after giving up the first two goals, which were relatively simple goals. After we went down, we responded well, becoming more energetic, liberated, fluid, and hostile toward the opponent's objectives. We then had excellent opportunities to tie the score.
