Full-Time Scores,
Ghana U20WNT 1-0 Zambia U20WNT (Evelyn Badu 35′)
Zambia Under-20 Women’s National Team has been eliminated from the race to Qualify to the 2022 Costa Rica FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup after losing 1-0 to Ghana in the third round, second leg encounter played this afternoon at the Cape Coast Stadium in Ghana.
Black Princesses captain Evelyn Badu scored the only goal of the match in the 35th minute and that was enough for the Coach Ben Fokuo drilled lasses to overcome a resolute Young Copper Queens.
After a lucklustre first half, the Young Copper Queens came back more organized in the second half missing a couple of chances through Agnes Phiri while The Black Princesses came close to extending the lead hitting the post twice but that did not change the complexion of the scoreline as the match ended 1-0 to Ghana.
This defeat by the Young Copper Queens means that The Black Princesses of Ghana are through to the penultimate round were they will face Uganda who edged South Africa 1-0 in the other match.
The 2022 Costa Rica FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup will be played from 10-28 August with only 2 slots allocated to Africa at this world’s showpiece.
We saw plenty talent in the Zambian girls but appear to be poorly coached. The man in charge of the team lacks tactical awareness.
