Black Starlets Head Coach Laryea Kingston has made one change to the side that thumped La Cote d'Ivoire to face Benin, in the WAFU Under-17 Championship, replacing Abdulai Nortey with Ernest Ofori.

The former national star has maintained ten of the players who started the game against La Cote d'Ivoire in his quest to scale over Benin.

The Black Starlets take on Benin in their final group game at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium on Tuesday afternoon at 4pm.

Laryea has kept faith with shot stopper, Michael Armah, who will be in goal this afternoon against Benin with an unaltered back-4 of Bilal Adjevi, Izdeen Mohammed, Harve Gbafa and Hamza Iddrisu.

Ernest Ofori, however, replaces Abdulai Nortey who has picked a knock but playmaker Mark Kagawa and Theophilus Ayamga maintain their roles.

Skipper Benjamin Tsivanyo and speedster Joseph Narbi play on the right and left side of midfield respectively while Godfred Sarpong leads the attack for the Black Starlets.

Ghana recorded a massive 5-1 win over La Cote d'Ivoire in their first group game and will be hoping to ease past Benin to maintain their top spot in Group A.

Admission to the match remains free of charge.
