Benin Under-20 manager, Mathias Deguenon has revealed his team are looking for solutions to help them score goals at the ongoing Under-20 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
The young Cheetahs have only scored one goal so far in the tournament after recording two draws in Group C against Zambia and Tunisia.
Benin currently occupy second spot but are not yet guaranteed of progress to the quarterfinals with only a point separating them from Tunisia and Zambia.
However, Deguenon wants his attack to do better when they tackle Gambia in their final group game in Alexandria on Monday.
“Tomorrow will be our third match and we will play against the group leader,” Deguenon said on the CAF website.
“We want to qualify for the next round of the tournament. We will have to be ready from the start of the match.
“Since the start of the tournament, we have been looking for solutions to be more efficient in front of goal.
“Everything is about us as we have to find the strategies to beat this Gambian team. We have to put the attack to good use,” he concluded.

Victory for Benin would guarantee their place in the quarterfinals regardless of what the outcome between Tunisia and Zambia is in Cairo.
