Black Maidens

Ghana’s Black Maidens recorded a 3-0 win over the Young Atlas Lionesses of Morocco in a friendly match played at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday.

Stella Nyamekye got the opener for the Black Maidens in the 17th minute when she met a cross from Zuleiha Fuseini close to edge of the box.

Georgina Ayisha Aoyem increased the tally to two at the stroke of half time with a solo effort.

Mariam Matiti Iddi took the game beyond the Young Atlas Lionesses slotting home the third on the 49th minute mark.

The Black Maidens were the dominant side throughout the game though the Moroccans could have capitalized on their few scoring opportunities to get back into the game.

It was a very good exercise for the Maidens who used this friendly as their first international exposure. Coach Baba Nuhu says he was not disappointed with the outcome.

The friendly match comes in handy as both sides are preparing to kick start the FIFA U 17 World Cup Qualifiers in early March.

Ghana’s U17 female side is scheduled to take on Senegal in a FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup qualifier early next month.
