The female
national team of Ghana the Black Queens on Saturday afternoon beat Burkina Faso
3-0 at the Accra Sports Stadium to advance to the next round of the African
women championships qualifiers.
Two goals
from striker Agnes Aduako and a goal from burly forward Faiza Ibrahim saw the
Queens winning on a 6-0 aggregate shoreline after they had won by the same margin
a fort night ago in Ouagadougou.
Striker
Faiza Ibrahim opened the scoring in the 25th min when she ballooned a
ball into the roof of the net from close range after receiving a cross from
winger Liticia Zikpi.
Ghana was
awarded a penalty 5 min later after a shoot from midfielder Mercy Miles struck
the hands of Burkina defender Edith Bambara in the 18 yard box. Striker Agnes
Aduako took the mantle open herself and calmly slotted the ball into the far
left corner of the net to make it 2-0 at the end of the first half.
The Queens
could have scored more goals in the 2nd half but kept on squandering
their chances. But the Queens awarded themselves with a 3rd and
final goal in the 68th min after striker Agnes Aduako calmly tapped
home a cross from woman of the match Portia Boakye after taking on the Burkina
Faso right back perfectly.
The win
however means Ghana will be facing their counterparts from Ethiopia in the next
round of qualifiers.
