Christiana Ashiaku scored two goals in the second half to increase Ghana’s advantage to 5-0, demonstrating the relentless ferocity of their attack.
Seidatu Wahab added another incredible goal to make it a hat-trick and Mavis Koah scored the final goal to seal the win, capping off an incredible performance.
Ghana’s tactical effort to promote women’s football youth development is in line with the Black Damsels’ involvement in this competition. As these young players go towards higher levels of national representation, the exposure and experience they receive from competing against international teams is essential.
In addition to showcasing the team’s present skills, their impressive performances in Malta promise a bright future for Ghanaian women’s football on the international level.
