Ghana progresses in African Women Championship qualifiers

Audio By Carbonatix

The Senior National Female Soccer team, the Black Queens, progressed to the final round of the 2014 African Women Championship qualifiers following a 3-0 victory over Burkina Faso on Saturday afternoon at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Coming into the match on the back of a 3-0 win away in Ouagadougou a fortnight ago, the Black Queens wasted no time in announcing their battle-readiness for the final round with a well-taken goal from Faisal Ibrahim after 22 minutes.

Agnes Aduako made no mistakes when Ghana was awarded a penalty four minutes later after a Burkinabe defender had handled Portia Boakye’s ball in the 18-yard box.

And in the 73rd minute, Agnes Aduako put the icing on the cake with her second and Ghana’s third goal after Samira Suleiman had whipped in a cross.

Ghana, thus, progresses to the final round where Ethiopia awaits on a 6-0 aggregate score line.

The Black Queens would be hoping to make a return to the biennial event after Ghana missed the 2012 edition, the first time since the competition’s inception.
