Ghana has taken a significant step towards the semifinal of the ongoing African Schools Football Championship (ASFC) women’s division after their triumph over Benin.
The Black Damsels secured a convincing 2-0 win in their second group stage game over Benin at the University of Ghana on matchday two, Thursday, April 25.
Strikes from Christiana Ashiaku and Belinda Kpentey proved decisive for Joyce Boatey-Agyei’s team.
Having taken the lead in the first half through Ashiaku, Ghana strengthened their advantage after Kpentey was expertly played through by her teammate, making no error and slotting the ball past the goalkeeper.
Despite being wasteful in front of goal against Morocco in their opener, Ghana came out firing in their second match, showing no signs of letting up.
This win marks the team’s second consecutive victory in the tournament, having previously defeated Morocco 1-0.
With two wins from two games, Ghana has secured a spot in the semifinals, showcasing the team’s exceptional skill and determination.
Coach Joyce Boatey-Agyei’s side has been nothing short of phenomenal, leaving an indelible mark on the tournament.
Ghana has accumulated three goals in two games while maintaining a flawless defense, having not conceded a goal and registering two shutout victories.
The Black Damsel’s next challenge will be against Malawi U-15 girls , who they will face later on Thursday at the University of Ghana Stadium.
With their sights set on hosting and winning the championship Joyce Boatey-Agyei’s team will be gunning for a maximum three points to wrap up their group stage campaign.
