The black Queens lost to Morocco on penalty shootout
Scores of Ghanaians expressed their disappointment following the Black Queens‘ loss to Morocco on penalties in the 2024 Women’s African Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Ghana seized the initiative and broke the deadlock in the 26th minute through Stella Nyamekye, who reacted swiftly to convert a rebound after Morocco’s goalkeeper, Khadija Er-Rmichi, had parried a header from Josephine Bonsu.
Morocco emerged stronger in the second half, increasing the intensity of their attacks, and their persistence was rewarded in the 55th minute.
Sakina Ouzraoui exploited a lapse in Ghana’s defence, beating goalkeeper Cynthia Konlan to restore parity at 1-1.
Unfortunately, the Black Queens lost on penalties by 4-2, thwarting their title ambitions.
In reaction to the game, some football fans criticised the team for their poor finishing and squandering many chances in the game, which they could have easily won before half-time.
Others asserted that despite the brilliant performances they put up against the host nation, it was a disappointment that they could not book their ticket to the final and probably lift the trophy.
However, there were some individuals who commended the team for their resilient and dominant performance in the tournament and urged them to build on it to succeed in future competitions.
