Ghana secured a crucial 3-1 victory over South Korea in the 2026 U-20 Women’s World Cup, keeping their qualification hopes alive. The Black Princesses made a strong comeback after a disappointing opening loss to Ecuador. Coach Charles Sampson made strategic changes to the starting lineup, with Latifa Musa, Salima Rahim Naazo, and Precious Akangwe replacing the initial lineup.
Esther Owusu was substituted in the 26th minute due to an injury, and Latifa Abesit replaced her. Despite creating several chances during the first half, Ghana struggled to score until Sarah Nyarko netted the opening goal in the 52nd minute. Ivy Osei Owusu doubled the lead with a deflected goal, and Ruth Amponsah sealed the win with a composed finish in the 84th minute.
South Korea managed to score a late consolation goal but couldn't change the outcome. Ghana will face France in their final group stage match, aiming to progress for the first time in eight attempts.
