Black Princesses soar past South Korea to revive World Cup campaign
The Black Princesses began their quest for a historic achievement at the 11,600-capacity Sosnowiec Arena, with head coach Charles Sampson making two crucial changes to the side that suffered a 3-0 defeat to Ecuador in their tournament opener.
Ghana's Black Princesses bounced back with a convincing 3-1 victory over South Korea in Poland, keeping their FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup qualification hopes alive. After opening their Group C campaign with a 3-0 loss to Ecuador, the Black Princesses collected their first three points of the tournament. In the second half, Sarah Nyarko scored a powerful long-range goal just seven minutes after the restart, followed by Ivy Osei Owusu's delicate chip, putting Ghana firmly in control.
Ruth Amponsah added a third goal in the 84th minute, seemingly sealing the match. South Korea managed to pull one back in stoppage time, but it was ultimately a consolation as Ghana secured a crucial win. The victory reinvigorates the Black Princesses as they prepare for their final Group C match against France on September 12, where a positive result could lead them to the knockout stages.
