Ghana defender Samuel Inkoom claims his teammates� confidence of winning the Nations Cup soared after victory over co-hosts Gabon on Tuesday night.
The Ukraine-based player lasted the entire duration as the Black Stars needed a 90th minute goal to snatch a 2-1 win at the Stade Municipal in Paris.
Inkoom started as a right-back but was re-assigned as a right-winger after Sulley Muntari was pulled off due to injury.
The 21-year-old believes the Black Stars win has instilled the requisite confidence to conquer the continent next year.
�Wins give you confidence so it was important that we won, but overall the fact that we could meet here and train together for a while matters more,� Inkoom said.
�We are all aware that the Nations Cup next year is important if we are to go down with a trophy. It�s fundamental.�
Inkoom was the first choice right-back at the last edition in Angola when Ghana won silver after losing 1-0 in the final to champions Egypt.
