2022 World Cup playoffs: Thomas Partey confident of a win ahead of second leg tie against Nigeria

Midfielder Thomas Partey insists that the Black Stars will snatch a win against Nigeria at their own backyard in the return leg tie in Abuja.

The Black Stars drew goalless with the Super Eagles on Friday night in the first leg of the 2022 World Cup playoff games at the Baba Yara Stadium.

With the second leg scheduled at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium on Tuesday, March 29, Partey insists the tie is not over.

He added that the Black Stars will ensure they win to book a place in the 2022 World Cup playoffs in Qatar later this year.

“We know we should have won this game against Nigeria but a draw is not bad,” the Arsenal midfielder said after the game.

“However, I know that our fans are disappointed in us as we had promised them victory.

“Nevertheless, it isn’t over until it is over and we promise all Ghanaians that we will go for victory in Abuja come Tuesday,” he added.

The playing body together with the technical team will depart for Abuja on Monday morning.

The Black Stars are racing for their fourth World Cup appearance having missed out in the last edition.
