African Women's Championship: Black Queens earn vital point against Nigeria 

Published on: 23 November 2016

Ghana fought back again from conceding an early lead to secure a vital point against Nigeria on Wednesday in the ongoing African Women's Championship in Cameroon.  The Black Quuens are now joint top of Group B with four points knowing that victory in Saturday’s showdown with Mali will guarantee qualification to the semifinals. 

Asistat Oshoala opened the scoring for Super Falcons in the 22nd minute. The striker who netted four in her first game against Mali proved her worth again as she connected from close range. 

But Black Queens levelled the score through Elizabeth Addo. The midfielder calmly converted a spot kick in the waning moments to ensure the first half ended in a share of spoils. 

Ghana were the better team in the second half but couldn't get a goal to show for it.  American based striker Florence Dadson was guilty of missing a glorious chance with 10 minutes to end.
