Awcon 2022: Ghana beat Nigeria in Accra but fail to advance

Ghana have been eliminated from the 2022 Africa Women’s Cup of Nations qualifying despite beating Nigeria 1-0 in Accra on Sunday.

Princella Adubea registered the only goal of the game  but the Super Falcons’ 2-0 home victory in the first leg saw the Black Queens lose 2-1 on aggregate.

The Black Queens suffered a setback when captain Boakye was sent off for a second bookable offence, having fouled Oshoala on a counter-break only for Falcons Glory Ogbonna to be sent off in the 75th minute for a reckless challenge on Naomi Animah.

Nigeria, defending Afcon champions, have booked a ticket to the second and final round of the qualifiers as they seek a flight to Morocco for the final tournament.
