Nora Hauptle, the head coach of the Black Queens, emphasized the importance of keeping a clean sheet after her team's impressive 7-0 victory over Rwanda in the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Hauptle, clearly satisfied with her team's performance, highlighted that the victory was not just about scoring many goals but also about maintaining a solid defensive record.
“We won 7-0. Of course, it is quite satisfying. It is not only about scoring so many goals. It is important we also kept our clean sheet.”
In the match, Doris Boaduwaa, Evelyn Badu, and Princella Adubea contributed goals to give Ghana a 3-0 lead at halftime.
Kusi Alice, Evelyn Badu, and a double by Achiaa Anasthesia secured a commanding 7-0 victory for the Black Queens.
The return leg of the first round is scheduled for Tuesday, September 26, at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Once the qualifying process is completed, the Black Queens will advance to the second round of the tournament.
