Despite losing by a lone goal in Accra on Sunday evening, the nine-time
African champions survived with a 2-1 aggregate win over their hosts.
Both teams finished with 10 players after Ghana’s captain Portia Boakye
was dismissed for a second bookable offence, and minutes after,
Nigeria’s left-back Glory Ogbonna was sent off by Ivorian referee
Zomadre Sonia Kore.
Princella Adubea scored Ghana’s goal midway into the second half as
the Super Falcons were expecting adherence to fair play principle.
Team captain, Asisat Oshoala missed an opportunity to level the score.
The Black Queens launched several attacks but could not get the goal
that would have tied the fixture and make penalty shootout inevitable at
the Accra Sports Stadium.
The Falcons will advance to the final round where they play the Lady
Elephants of Cote d’Ivoire, in February 2022.
