Ghana risks qualifying for African Women Championship

Ghana’s Black Queens risk qualifying for the biannual African Women Championship (AWC) later this year after a one all draw game with the Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon at the Accra Stadium on Saturday.

The game, the final qualifier saw the visitors’, one of Africa’s representatives in the July London Olympic Games scoring first through Mihamle Iven Adrienne before Ghana’s Captain Florence Okoe pulled even.

A goalless draw or a loss in a fortnight in Cameroon could end the Queen’s dream of answering the roll call in the tournament billed for Equatorial Guinea which could take Ghana’s appearance at the competition to eight out of eight.

Playing in front of an impressive crowd, the Queens struggled to impose themselves on the game which Cameroon won the physical battle right from the onset.

Both teams laboured to take complete charge of the game with action swinging from one end to the other. After a goalless first half, Ghana began the stronger from recess giving early indication of their intent to grind a decent result, but to no avail.
