Despite a strong defensive display from Senegal in the first half, Ghana remained persistent and were eventually rewarded in the 84th minute when Evelyn Badu scored the game-winning goal.

She received a pass inside the box, turned to position herself well before firing into the net.

The victory gave the Black Queens a perfect record in the two friendly matches against Senegal.
