Ghana Gain, Falconets Fall
The Falconets dominated the opening stages, crafting a handful of promising opportunities under the guidance of their astute coach, Chris Musa Danjuma.
Stella Nyamekye made no mistake from the spot to put the Black Princesses ahead in the 39th minutes.
Flourish Sabastine finally broke through Ghana’s resistance by restoring parity for the falconets in the 84th minute.
With the score deadlocked at 1-1 after the full 90 minutes, the match progressed directly to a penalty shootout to determine the champions.
