An injury time goal by striker Faiza Ibrahim clinched all three points as Ghana beat Zimbabwe 2-1 to qualify to the semi finals of the All Africa Games on Thursday.

The match seemed destined for a 1-1 stalemate until the budding talent popped up from nowhere to score her second which ensured the 100% record by the Black Princesses at the tourney in Maputo, Mozambique remained intact.

The performance put up by Kuuku Dadzie's team so far has raised a lot of eyebrows with many now tipping the U-20 womens team as overwhelming favourites for the trophy.

Ghana will now play a meaningless final group game with South Africa on Sunday but the girls are determined to maintain their perfect start to their campaign.
