Kims Lars Bjorkegren was handed I second defeat in just three games as Ghana suffered defeat to Senegal.
The Teranga Lionesses scored a late goal to beat the Black Queens in their second friendly this international break.
The defeat comes days after the Swede trainer’s team had picked up a similar score in the first encounter with Evelyn Badu scoring the only goal of the game.
There were five changes made to the Black Queens starting lineup for the game as Nina Norshie, Justice Tweneboah, Ernestina Abambila, Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah and Princella Adubea were all handed starting berths.
Ghana looked flat and attacked very little in the opening 45 minutes of the game with the host bring their physical strength to the game.
The Black Queens failed to cope with the physicality of the game but still held on for a 0-0 at halftime.
After the return from the break, Bjorkegren made a change to his side with goalkeeper Kerrie McCarthy replacing Cynthia Konlan.
Chantelle came close to opening the score for Ghana but her effort went just wide of the post.
Abambila also came to the rescue of the team at a point in the second half to deny Senegal from taking the lead.
However, in the 90th minute, there was no solution for a Senegal attack as they breached the Black Queens defence and scored the winner.
The defeat means the Queens have picked up two losses from three games under the new boss in three games, winning the other.
The games are part of their preparations for the delayed 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations to be staged in Morocco in July.
