The Black Queens of Ghana have posted a 3-1 defeat on their counterparts of Kenya in their final group game of the 2020 edition of the Turkish Women’s Cup.

The two countries are the only African sides participating in this year’s competition together with 6 countries from other continents of the world.

In the final Group B encounter this afternoon, the two teams locked horns at the Starlight Sports Complex in Antalya.

Following a masterclass display from the Ghana team, they have cruised to a convincing 3-1 win against Kenya.

Captain for the Queens, Elizabeth Addo handed the team the lead after 9 minutes when he found the back of the net straight from a free-kick position.

Two additional goals from Elizabeth Addo and Grace Asantewaa in the second half condemned Kenya to the defeat even though the losers grabbed a consolation in the dying minutes of the match.

Ghana’s win means she has progressed out of Group B and will now face Romania in the third-place playoff match.
