Black Queens coach Yusif Basigi believes his side gave their all in their unfortunate 1-0 loss to hosts Cameroon in the semi-final of the 2016 Africa Women Cup of Nations. 

Midfielder Raissa Feudjio scored the only goal of the match on 71 minutes as the Indomitable Lionesses reached a second consecutive final.

It was the second time Cameroon had beaten Ghana in seven meetings and perphabs his will go down as an important win.

The Queens were seeking to reach their first final since 2006 where they lost to Nigeria.

''The girls were self-motivated, both extrinsically and intrinsically but, it was unfortunate we couldn’t win. But I’m happy with the team’s effort in reaching the semi-final,'' Basigi
