The Black Queens completed a double over Senegal with a narrow 1-0 win at the Ohene Gyan Stadium in another friendly encounter. 

 

The first leg ended 3-0 for Ghana last Sunday at the same venue kind courtesy a brace from Gifty Assifuah, coupled with another from Grace Asantewaa.

Head coach Nora Häuptle made four changes from the team that played in the first game; Adama Alhassan, Azumah Bugre, two goal hero Gifty Assifuah and Malta-based goalie Cynthia Konlan were all left at the bench.
 
However, Anastasia Achiaa, Patience Peterson, Princess Owusu and goalkeeper McCarthy Kerrie were all included.
 
The Senegalese despite losing the first game were really impressive in the second half and looked like picking it from where they left.
 
The Black Queens were on top in terms of possession but weren't productive like they were in the last game, having made few attempts on goal.
 
The Teranga Lioness also had some opportunities fell their path in the space of five minutes in the second half but both Mama Diouf and Nguena couldn't make it count.
 
Ghana with an attempt on the 72nd minute after a beautiful display, Doris Boaduwaa got the better off Dembele to set up Evelyn Badu, she laid off to Fidaus Yakubu who turned and hit a strong one but was wide.
 
The Queens finally snatched the lead on the 84th minute through Evelyn Badu- who controlled a nice cross from Suzy Dede, kept her composure and struck into the net for the opener. Just what they have been hunting for.
 
Fast-forward Senegal were given a free kick at a very advantageous position after Hafsat was fouled by Justice Tweneboa. Sow Mbayang's delivery went into the wall.
 
It ended 1-0 for the Black Queens after full time and is a perfect test for their preparations towards the WAFU Zone B championship.
