Fortunately, for the Black Princesses, the team had the quality to complete a 3-1 comeback win at the end of the 90 minutes.

Goals from Stella Nyamekye, Success Ameyaa, and Faiza Seidu ensured that Ghana secured the win to advance to the finals of the WAFU Zone B U20 Girls Cup of Nations tournament.

The Black Princesses will face the winner of the second semi-final game between Nigeria and Benin.

Winning the Player of the Match award today means Stella Nyamekye has now won the award two times at the ongoing tournament.
