Ghana Storms into WAFCON Quarter-Finals with Resounding 4–1 Win Over Tanzania

The Black Queens of Ghana delivered a spectacular performance to overpower Tanzania 4–1 in their final Group C match of the 2024 CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, securing second place in the group and booking a coveted quarter-final slot.

Match Highlights

  • 12′Princella Adubea opened the scoring for Ghana after a deflected clearance fell kindly into her path, giving the Queens an early lead.

  • 41′Stumai Athumani leveled for Tanzania just before half-time, capitalizing on a headed assist to bring the teams level at the break.

  • 63′ – Ghana restored their advantage via a penalty calmly converted by Alice Kusi after Princess Marfo was fouled in the box.

  • 87′Evelyn Badu extended the lead, tapping in from close range following a set-piece scramble.

  • 90′ – Substitute Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah sealed the emphatic win with a composed finish on the counter in stoppage time.

Standings & Implications

The result confirmed Ghana’s rise from second to finish as Group C runners-up, trailing South Africa, and advanced them into the quarter-finals where they will face Algeria. Tanzania’s campaign ended with one point, and they exit the tournament after a valiant but ultimately insufficient effort.

Black Queens’ dominant second-half display showcased renewed urgency and clinical execution, as their 4–1 scoreline marked the first time Ghana had netted four goals in a WAFCON match since 1998.
