Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan insists the Black Stars will not be looking beyond Saturday's crucial African Nations Cup qualifier against Sudan.
The Black Stars also billed to play rivals, Nigeria in a friendly three days after but qualification to the 2012 finals in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea remains the Al-Ain striker's number one ambition.
Ghana's rivalry with Nigeria also attracts lots of attention but Gyan's focus is solely on the Sudan game.
"At this moment my full concentration is on Sudan. After Sudan we will deal with Nigeria," he told Mtnfootball.com.
The Black Stars lead on goal difference, despite level on points with the Nile Crocodiles, 13 points apiece while Congo are on 3 points and Swaziland with no points after five games.
For Gyan, who scored his debut goal in the UAE on Saturday, Ghana will push for a win to earn a place in the finals but he expects a tough game.
"There are no easy games in African football today and Sudan is a very good football country. They were determined that's why they came to Kumasi and held us to the draw.
"But just like the way they did to us we can also go to their home grounds and cause a major surprise.
"We will have to be tough to be able to succeed in that game because they also want to beat us.
"I think we are capable of winning in Sudan because we did it before we qualified for the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations when we beat them at their own stadium.
"We are going to fight hard to get our tickets and avoid the mathematics of whether we have qualified or not," he said.
