Milovan Rajevac grateful to his players after doing double over Zimbabwe

Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac has extended his compliment to his players following their 1-0 win over Zimbabwe at the National Sports Stadium in Harare.

The Black Stars defeated the Warriors of Zimbabwe by a lone goal to keep their World Cup qualifications hopes alive.

Arsenal star Thomas Partey scored the winner in the 31st minute with a ferocious free-kick. It was his second goal for Ghana following his injury return having netted at the Cape Coast Stadium last Saturday.

Speaking to the media after the game, Milovan Rajevac was full of praise for his players and his technical team.

“As you all know, this was my first camp after I came back and I have to say that I am really really grateful to everybody; my players, the medical department, the technical team and GFA. We all did this together,” Rajevac said.

“I felt immense support from everybody these days so really feel happy because we managed to accomplish our mission to win these two matches and to get six points so that we can still be in contention for the World Cup.”

“This match was hard as the previous one. I want to congratulate my players for the performance and also the Zimbabwean team and coach for excellent fighting and desire.”

Ghana face Ethiopia and South Africa respectively in November. Both games will determine whether Ghana will play in March’s playoffs.
