Ghana’s female U-20 team, the Black Princesses, defeated Guinea-Bissau 3-0 in the first leg of the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup qualifier in Bissau on Sunday.
Three goals, courtesy Success Ameyaa, Mary Amponsah, and Mercy Attobra handed the princesses the first-leg advantage.
The Black Princesses were the better side in the early minutes of the game but couldn’t utilize their chances.
A pass from Helen Alormemu found Mary Amponsah, but she was flagged offside in the 11th minute.
Success Ameyaa made her effort count in the 45th minute when she scored from a free kick to hand Ghana the lead before going into the break.
After recess, Mary Amponsah was fouled in the penalty box, but Comfort Yeboah missed the spot kick.
Mary Amponsah doubled the lead in the 67th minute courtesy of a great team effort before substitute Mercy Attobra, who replaced Fatimata Fuseini, proved to be a “super sub” as she scored in the 77th minute to take the game beyond Guinea-Bissau.
The Black Princesses held on to win the contest 3:0. The return fixture is scheduled for the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday, October
