‘I’m not surprised they won’ – Kurt hails Black Princesses’ convincing win over South Korea
GFA President Kurt Okraku has welcomed the Black Princesses’ emphatic 3-1 victory over South Korea at the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup, describing the result as a major boost to the team’s confidence ahead of their final group-stage game against France.
The Ghanaian women's national football team, known as the Black Princesses, will be seeking to recover from their opening loss when they meet South Korea in their second Group C match of the FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Poland today. After a disappointing start to their campaign, Ghana suffered a 3-0 defeat against Ecuador in their first match.
Ecuador took the lead within the first four minutes of the game, with a goal from Rosa Flores. Ghana responded well, coming close to leveling the score when Agnes Yeboah struck the post, but Ecuador extended their lead in the 17th minute through Domenica Arboleda. The West African team faced further adversity when goalkeeper Najat Abdul Salam was injured and replaced by Precious Asante.
Despite numerous attacking chances, Ghana was unable to break through Ecuador's defense. Arboleda added a second goal in the 69th minute, proving decisive as the South Americans secured a comfortable victory. The loss places the Black Princesses in a challenging position as they prepare to face South Korea. A positive result could provide a boost to their chances of advancing from the group stage.
