The Black Queens of Ghana delivered a resounding statement in the Pink Ladies Cup with a comprehensive 4-0 victory over Russia on Matchday 2, continuing their flawless start to the tournament under coach Kim Lars Björkegren.
From the opening whistle, Ghana asserted total dominance, showcasing sharp attacking intent and clinical finishing that left their opponents struggling to respond. The breakthrough arrived early in the 8th minute when Doris Boaduwaa played a key role in the build-up, setting up Stella Nyamekye for a powerful finish inside the box to open the scoring and set the tone for what was to come.
The momentum only grew from there. Just nine minutes later, in the 17th minute, Doris Boaduwaa turned provider into scorer herself, unleashing a stunning volley to double the advantage and highlight her growing influence on the game.
She wasn’t done yet—before halftime, she added her second goal in the 38th minute (with some reports noting around the 32nd in buildup phases), completing a brilliant brace and giving the Black Queens a commanding 3-0 lead at the break.
Ghana maintained their control after the interval, keeping a clean sheet while probing for more opportunities. The icing on the cake came late in the match when substitute Patience Ajegipena Zakaria (often referred to as Ajegipena Zakaria) struck in the 88th minute, rounding off the rout and sealing a thoroughly deserved four-goal margin.
This result follows their earlier 4-0 win over Hong Kong in the opener, meaning eight goals scored and none conceded across two matches—a perfect display of confidence, depth in attack, and defensive solidity as they build toward WAFCON 2026. The Black Queens are flying high in this preparatory tournament, proving once again why they remain one of Africa’s most formidable women’s sides.
