“In the end I’m very satisfied. We are looking forward to travel home to mother Ghana and of course having the second game,” she added.
The Black Queens opened the scoring in the 19th minute through Vivian Adjei Konadu, pouncing on an error by the goalkeeper. Doris Boaduwaa made it 2-0 in the 27th minute from a header, before Evelyn Badu wrapped up the win in 72nd minute.
