Black Satellites head coach Desmond Ofei has labelled their upcoming clash against Benin as a "must-win" encounter as Ghana look to secure progression to the next round of the tournament.

The Black Satellites were held to a 1-1 draw by Nigeria in their opening Group A fixture at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence in Prampram.

Meanwhile, Benin endured a tough start to the competition, suffering a heavy 4-1 defeat to the Flying Eagles of Nigeria.

The Young Cheetahs now sit at the bottom of the group standings and are desperate for victory to keep their qualification hopes alive.
