In the African Games final, the Black Princesses put on an exciting show that set up a clash with Nigeria. In the eighteenth minute, Tracey Twum headed in the first goal from Mary Awuah’s corner kick.

The team led by Yussif Basigi had a strategy, and they neutralized the opposition’s offensive players. In the 34th minute, Ophelia Serwaa Amponsahs’ attempt was blocked by the post. However, to enhance the score, the attacker scored in the 46th minute after receiving the ball on the sides and placing it in the bottom of the post.

After Senegal got one back in the 53rd minute, Ophelia Serwaa extended Ghana’s lead in the next two minutes. Throughout the match, Abiba Issah played proactive defense and showed her ability to dig in and win a number of crucial headers.

The Princesses held on to win the game 3-1 as they appeared more motivated to resist the opponents’ attempts.

On Thursday, March 21, 2024, in the African Games women’s football finals, Ghana and Nigeria will compete for gold.
