Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Black Starlets continued their impressive performance at the ongoing UEFA U-16 Development Tournament in Serbia with another emphatic victory over Spain on Saturday afternoon.<\/b><\/p>\n

Ghana secured their second win at the tournament staged in the European country for players below the age of 16, after picking a narrow win over Spain in a five-goal thriller.<\/p>\n

The first department of the game ended in a one-all draw with Great Corinthians centre-forward Benjamin Tsivanyo scoring for Ghana.<\/p>\n

In the second half, Goals from Tsivanyo and Peter Hammond aided the Black Starlets to record a 3-2 victory over Spain.<\/p>\n

At the heart of Ghana\u2019s midfield was 15-year-old Fatawu Ganiwu, who plays for Sporting Avranches, a Division 2-based club in Madina.<\/p>\n

Fatawu was full of confidence and anchored the midfield. He possesses the calmness of Sergio Busquets on the ball and the aggression of Michael Essien in winning the ball.<\/p>\n

His ability to provide the forward lines with defence splitting passes from midfield is exceptional for a 15-year-old who plays in the 3rd tier of Ghana\u2019s football league.<\/p>\n

The young lad from Madina Zongo won most of the midfield duels and has so far put up a good performance in the opening two games of the tournament.<\/p>\n

Coach Karim Zito\u2019s side had inflicted an embarrassing 4-0 defeat on host nation, Serbia, in the opening fixture of the tournament on Thursday a game in which Fatawu enjoyed majority of possession in midfield.<\/p>\n

Ghana will wrap up the 2023 UEFA U16 Development Tournament with a game against Switzerland on Tuesday, April 18. The match is scheduled to kick-off at 8:00am GMT.<\/p>\n
