The Black Maidens were inspired by captain Georgina Ayisha Aoyem who scored the first goal as she capitalized on a counter attack to niche home the opener for Ghana on the 49th minute.

After hitting the crossbar with a powerful effort, Princess Owusu then neatly placed the rebound at the bottom corner of the post to register the second goal in the 58th minute mark.

Though Ghana’s Princess Owusu was given the marching orders after a bad tackle on Senegal midfielder Ndeye Tida, with just a few minutes to end the game, the Black Maidens added to the tally through FC Savannah striker Abdulai Karima as she slotted home calmly to complete the 3-0 thumping.
