2026 U-20 Women's World Cup Qualifiers: Mercy Attobrah nets brace as Black Princesses to beat Tunisia
Forward Mercy Attobrah marked her debut in class with a brace as Ghana’s Black Princesses defeated Tunisia 2-0 in the first leg of their 2026 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup qualifiers on Saturday, September 20.
The Al Ahly striker, who joined the squad directly in Tunisia, was handed a starting role by head coach Charles Sampson and wasted little time making an impact.
Attobrah fired Ghana ahead inside five minutes, setting the tone for a dominant display in Rades.
Despite creating several chances through Linda Owusu Ansah and Zeinab Haruna, the Princesses failed to extend their advantage before halftime, going into the break with a slender 1-0 lead.
After the restart, Attobrah doubled her tally with a stunning strike from 20 yards that left the Tunisian goalkeeper helpless.
Sarah Nayrko came close to adding a third, narrowly missing the target from close range, but Ghana comfortably saw out the match.
