Black Queens forward Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah has expressed delight after Ghana progressed to the quarter-final of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations following a thumping victory over Tanzania in their final Group C game.
Boye-Hlorkah sealed victory for Ghana after an exquisite finish as the Black Queens sealed a 4-1 win on Monday evening July 14, 2025, to set up a last eight clash against North Africans Algeria.
Ghana opened the scoring early in the game through Princella Adubea but Tanzania levelled before half time through Stumai Abdallah. But the Black Queens were too strong in the second half with Alice Kusi and Evelyn Badu registering their names on the score sheet.
“I am proud, I am so proud of the girls like they have my back out there today. I try to lead, as everyone I am a character, I am very vocal on the pitch and I try to push the team as much as I can,” she said after the game.
“Today, we went all out, we conceded a goal which I take full responsibility for but then as I look around all the girls were coming me up. I told the girls we are not going to win the game if we don’t play as a team and that is what we did.
“I am so proud the girls, I am so proud of Ghana, and I am proud of the fans.”
Ghana will face Algeria on Saturday in the quarter-final of the competition.
