Ghana's Black Princesses delivered an impressive 4-0 victory over Polish side Sleza Wroclaw in their first international friendly in Poland on Tuesday, as they geared up for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. Charles Sampson's team showcased a strong second-half performance, breaking the deadlock in the 35th minute through Jacqueline Ntoso's well-placed finish.

Despite Sleza Wroclaw's efforts, Ghana maintained their lead until halftime. Priscilla Mensah came close to doubling Ghana's advantage in the second half, but her header was saved by the Polish goalkeeper. Ruth Amponsah capitalized on an excellent pass from Priscilla Mensah in the 67th minute to put Ghana 2-0 ahead, and three minutes later, Amponsah added a third goal, solidifying the victory.

Diana Amoako wrapped up the scoring in the 87th minute with a long-range effort. The win provides Ghana's coach with a positive start to their preparations for the upcoming World Cup, which begins on September 5 in Poland. Ghana, making their eighth consecutive appearance at the tournament, will face France, Ecuador, and Korea Republic in their group.

The Black Princesses will open their campaign against Ecuador on September 6, followed by matches against Korea Republic and France. The friendly match against Sleza Wroclaw served as an opportunity for Sampson to evaluate his squad and fine-tune his tactics ahead of the World Cup showdown.
