“The Black Queens of Ghana surged into the knockout stages of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) Morocco 2024.

They achieved an emphatic 4–1 win over Tanzania on Monday evening. This was thanks to a dominant second-half display.

Ghana started brightly and took the lead in the 12th minute. Princella Adubea fired home from the center of the box. This rewarded her side’s early attacking intent.

Tanzania, however, responded with resilience and found the equalizer just before halftime. Stumai Athumani capitalized on a well-placed header from Enekia Lunyamila to level the score at 1–1 going into the break.

The second half belonged entirely to the Black Queens. Ghana regained the lead in the 63rd minute after Princess Marfo was brought down inside the area. Alice Kusi stepped up and coolly converted from the penalty spot to restore Ghana’s advantage.

As the Tanzanian defense began to tire, Ghana turned up the pressure. Evelyn Badu made it 3–1 in the 87th minute, tapping in from close range after a set-piece routine unsettled the opposition defense.

Substitute Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah sealed the win in stoppage time, capping a swift counterattack with a composed finish to put the result beyond doubt.

Despite a spirited first-half effort, Tanzania was unable to cope with Ghana’s pace and precision after the break. 

The Black Queens advance confidently to the quarterfinals. This reaffirms their status as one of the tournament’s top contenders.”
