Princesses beat Canada in World Cup opener
Ghana sealed a 1-0 win against host nation Canada
to record an exciting start in their FIFA U-20
Women’s World Cup campaign.
Black Princesses’ Sherifatu Sumaila scored the
all-important goal after 22 minutes in Toronto’s
National Soccer Stadium to hand Bashir Hayford's
side all the spoils in the Group A contest on
Tuesday.
The win puts Ghana in second place, adrift Korea
DPR on goals difference after the Asian side
claimed a 2-1 victory over Finland in the other
match.
After a quick start which produced rare goal
moments, Sumaila tapped in from close range, a low
cross by Edem Atovor.
The hosts best chance came before halftime but a
shot by Emma Fletcher was kept out as the ball
struck the post.
