The Black Queens regained the lead in the 63rd minute after Princess Marfo was fouled in the box. Alice Kusi stepped up and calmly dispatched the resulting penalty to restore Ghana’s advantage.
With confidence growing, Ghana turned the screws late on. Evelyn Badu added a third in the 87th minute, pouncing on a loose ball from a set-piece to extend the lead.
In stoppage time, Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah capped off a dominant second-half display, finishing off a quick counter-attack with a precise strike to make it 4–1.
Despite flashes of attacking threat from the Twiga Stars, including spirited runs and build-up play, the Ghanaians’ superior organisation and clinical edge proved decisive.
The result sees Ghana comfortably advance from their group, underlining their ambitions of making a deep run in the competition as they continue their quest for continental glory.
