Nigeria secured their place in the final after a commanding 2-0 victory over Uganda earlier in the day, exhibiting dominance throughout the match at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium.

In an equally enthralling encounter, the Black Princesses of Ghana faced off against Senegal, a familiar opponent en route to their qualification for the upcoming U-20 Women’s World Cup. Ghana sealed a resounding 3-1 victory to secure their spot in the final.

Tracey Twum netted her second goal of the tournament, propelling Ghana into the lead just 18 minutes into the game. Ophelia Serwaa Amponsah extended the lead with a clever finish on the brink of halftime, showcasing Ghana’s prowess on the counterattack.

While the Teranga Lionesses managed to narrow the gap with a penalty early in the second half, Ghana’s determined performance ultimately secured their spot in the final showdown against Nigeria.
