Ghana has scored eight goals in two games in the competition so far.

Cote D’Ivoire also defeated Senegal by 4-0 in the second group game to book a spot at the semis.

Speaking ahead of today’s game Head coach of the Black Queens Mercy Tagoe-Quarcoo says her side will go all out in this game for the win against hosts Cote D’Ivoire.

“We are not going to joke against Cote D’Ivoire despite we have qualified. Our reputation is at stake and we will go out in this game”.

The Ivorians will be seeking for a revenge over the Queens after losing to them in the finals in the maiden edition last year.
