The West African side began the game strongly but had to wait until the 15th minute to open the scoring. Captain, Abdulai Nortey scored with a brilliant curler after Ernest Ofori had beaten his opponent to the ball.
The Starlets continued to press for the second goal which came in the 44th minute with Benjamin Hanson scoring from the penalty spot after Ebenezer Anane was fouled in the box.
David Kwame Koranteng made it 3-0 on the stroke of halftime as he connected well with Abdul Baaki Haruna's cross.
Kingston made no changes at the break.
