Aisha Buhari Cup: Black Queens secure first win after beating Cameroon

Published on: 20 September 2021

Black Queens bounced back from the defeat against South Africa to beat Cameroon in their second match of the maiden Aisha Buhari Cup.

After their 3-0 thrashing at the hands of the South Africans last Friday, head coach Mercy Tagoe knew her side had to improve and they did on Monday to secure a 2-0 win at Mobolaji Johnson Arena, Lagos.

The first half produced few goal scoring chances as the two teams tried to size each other.

However, the Black Queens broke the deadlock in the 60th minute thanks to a well-taking goal by Spain-based striker Princella Adubea.

15 minutes later, Ghana could have doubled their advantage but Thunder Ladies attacker Vivian Konadu failed to direct her low drive shot into the back of the net.

Konadu, however, made amends in the 89th minute by scoring a sublime goal as she dribbled past three Cameroonian defenders before slotting the ball past the goalkeeper.

The Black Queens will return to Ghana to continue their preparation towards a crucial Africa Women’s Cup of Nations (AWCON) qualifier against Nigeria next month.
