Despite a spirited performance from the Black Queens, Ghana were unable to find an equaliser as Cameroon held on to claim a vital victory and strengthen their position in the group.
The result leaves Ghana with everything to play for in their final Group D fixture against Mali on August 6. The Black Queens will need all three points to secure qualification to the knockout stage of the tournament.
After making a positive start to their campaign, the defeat serves as a setback for Ghana, but the team still has its destiny in its own hands heading into the decisive final group match.
