Black Princesses suffer opening world cup loss
An 89th minute strike by New Zealand’s Tayla
Christensen broke the deadlock as Ghana’s U-20
women’s team, the Black Princesses, lost their
opening FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup match.
Played at the PNG Football Stadium in Port
Moresby, Papua New Guinea on Monday, the match saw
the two sides seeking to lead Group C after France
and USA drew goalless in the opening group game.
Ghana’s Sandra Owusu-Ansah came close to scoring
after her long-range strike missed target only by
inches. That came following a surge by captain
Wasila Diwura-Soale, who hit straight at the New
Zealand goalie on a one-on-one situation.
The result sees the Oceanians move top of the
group with a two-point lead. France and USA follow
while Ghana languish bottom of the group.
Ghana’s next group game will be against France
on Thursday.
