Doris Boaduwaa scored a hat-trick for the Black Queens in the first of three friendly games last night against Malawi. 

The 2025 Ghana Football Awards Women’s Footballer of the Year was thrice on scoresheet as Ghana came from a goal down to win 3-1. 

Malawi opened the scoring after 15 minutes played in the game at Benslimane. 

However, Boduwaa drew Ghana level in the 23rd minute through the penalty spot. 

The former Hasaacas Ladies forward gave the Black Queens the lead eight minutes later with a great curler from the left flank. 

Kim Lars Bjorkegren’s side went into the break with a 2-1 lead. 

The Queens looked stronger in the second half, creating chances on the both flanks. 

However, the third goal wouldn’t come until the 83rd minute through Boaduwaa to complete her hat-trick. 

The win was the Black Queens second since the appointment of Bjorkegren as head coach earlier this year. 

The two will play games against Botswana and Nigeria to wrap up their WAFCON preparations with the competition starting on July 5.
