Black Queens midfielder Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah has praised goalkeeper Cynthia Konlan for her “amazing” performance against Algeria.
Ghana cruised over Algeria with a 4-2 penalty shootout win in the quarterfinal on Saturday afternoon to book a place in the last four.
Goalkeeper Cynthia made two saves as the Black Queens qualified for the semifinals for the first time since 2016.
“Amazing, I told the whole of Ghana to believe in us,” Chantelle said.
“We pushed it, we gave a couple of heart attacks, but [the belief from everyone] pushed us through.
“Cynthia [goalkeeper] made it easy for us. She put us ahead by saving. In my eyes, a goalkeeper should never save a penalty. She did amazing, and we are grateful we’ve got her in goal.”
Ghana will now face the host nation, Morocco, in the semifinal on Tuesday, July 22, at the Olympic Stadium in Rabat.
The upcoming clash will be a stern test for Ghana, who are chasing their first WAFCON final appearance since 2006.
