Maidens pummel Tunisia 7-0

Published on: 18 April 2010

Ghana's Under-17 female team took a giant step towards qualifying for the Fifa World Cup finals after a 7-0 annihilating of Tunisia in the final round first leg tie of the African qualifiers.

The Maidens took advantage of an own goal and punished the weaker Tunisian side by scoring two more goals thanks to Alice Danso.

Ghana sealed the first half 3-0 but after the interval, the Maidens accelerated by scoring four more; a single from Mary Essilful and hat-trick heroine Rita Okyere.

The Black Maidens are in good stead to pick one of the two African slots for the finals to be hosted by Trinidad and Tobago later in September.

Head coach Abraham Allotey's girls have reduced the second leg in a fortnight to a mere training  exercise.

Ghana played at the maiden Fifa Under-17 Women's World Cup in New Zealand.
