WAFU B U17 Girls’ Cup: Another Nigeria/Ghana clash

Posted : 21 December 2024

Nigeria and Ghana will battle for the ultimate prize in the inaugural WAFU U17 Girls' Cup on Sunday—coincidentally, the same day the home-based senior men clash in Accra in the first leg of the 8th African Nations Championship qualifying fixture, pitting both countries against each other.


On Thursday night, in the second semi-final of the WAFU U17 Girls' Cup, World Cup quarter-finalists Nigeria defeated their counterparts from Benin Republic 2-0, with both goals coming in the second half of the encounter at the Ghana Centre of Excellence in Prampram. Sunday’s final will also take place at the same centre, just outside Accra.

Forward Mary Lucky Mkpa scored from the penalty spot in the 70th minute to put Nigeria in front, eight minutes after the lanky striker Janet Akekoromowei had missed a great opportunity to give the Flamingos the lead.


Eight minutes after the opener, Peace Effiong capitalized on a goalkeeping error to extend Nigeria’s lead. However, Akekoromowei’s 84th-minute goal was chalked off by the referee, as the forward was judged to have impeded the goalkeeper before scoring.


The Flamingos reached the final after scoring 14 goals in three matches, conceding only two, and will start with much confidence against a Ghanaian side that defeated Côte d'Ivoire’s girls 5-0 earlier in the afternoon to reach Sunday’s final.
