Ghana advances to final round of WWC qualifier
12.10.2015 LISTEN

Kumasi, Oct. 11, GNA - Ghana's Under-20 Women's Football Team, the Black Princesses, coasted home to a 2-0 victory over the Nzalang-Nacional of Equitorial Guinea in their African preliminary second leg Women's World Cup qualifier at the Baba Yara Stadium, Kumasi, on Sunday.

Having beaten the Guineans 1-0 in the first leg, the Princesses qualify 3-0 to the final round of the qualifier and will meet Ethiopia.

Ghana's Lily Niber-Lawrence broke the deadlock, scoring the first goal of the game on the 59th minute to give the Princesses the advantage.

An unmarked Lily out-jumped her marker to connect home a Wasila Soale in-swinger from a counter-attack.

The Guineans, displaying good defensive play, would keep at bay the slippery Ghanaian attack in the course of the game and kudos to Rita Obiang and Crisanta Nguema for organizing the defence.

Substitute Veronica Appiah, broke an offside trap to fetch Ghana's second goal on the stroke of full time, unleashing a powerful shot to beat advancing goalie, Lucia Andeme. GNA
