  "account": "Ghana's Black Maidens fought back twice to secure a 3-3 draw against Brazil in their Group C match at the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, keeping their hopes of advancing to the knockout stage alive. The match, played on October 21, saw Brazil take the lead early with a goal from a player named Brazil. Ghana responded quickly, scoring once in the 31st minute through Rafia and then again in the 31st minute through Gloria Ameaa, putting them ahead 2-1. However, Brazil equalised in the 44th minute, making the score 2-2 at the break. Despite an early chance to level the score in the 76th minute, Ghana's Cynthia's effort was disallowed. With Canada's 3-2 win against Norway, the Maidens remain in the bottom spot in Group C. They will face Canada in their final group game, needing a strong result to keep their World Cup hopes alive.",
