Ghana’s Black Maidens has recorded a resounding 1:3 away victory over the female national U-17 side of Guinea in the first leg tie of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers at the Stade Général Lansana Conté de Nongo in Conakry.
Captain Georgina Ayisha Aoyem opened the scoring for the Black Maiden by latching on the ball after Zuleiha Fuseini headed down a Comfort Yeboah corner kick on the 13th minute.
A solid Maidens midfield spearheaded by Stella Nyamekye and Success Ameyaa kept controlling the midfield with finesse.
Goalkeeper Amina Ahamadu came to the rescue of the Maidens by clearing a header to prevent Guinea from equalizing on the 27th minute mark.
Rasheeda Shahadu made it 2 on the 31st minute after her left footed shot from outside the box found the right corner of the post.
After recess, the Guineans found a decisive moment, sliding in from the defense and tapped in from close range on 47th minutes to pull one back.
Striker, Mariam Maltiti Iddi’s tireless work upfront yielded results on the 59th minute when she had a flicked on Success Ameyaa’s cross to get Ghana’s third goal of the day.
Like I said before we needed not to attack but wanted to stay from low to medium tempo before reorganizing Baba Nuhu said in a post match interview with GFA Communications.
After 12 to 15 minutes I asked my players to relax, feel free and play their normal game. I think we squandered a lot of chances and it’s a worry as a coach. Going back home, we will work on converting those chances because, it is a thing to create chances and also another to score and I think it will be worked on going forward he added.
The reverse fixture is scheduled for the Cape Coast stadium on April 30.
