The Black Queens of Ghana produced a commanding second-half performance to claim a 4–1 victory over Tanzania, sealing their place in the knockout stages of the TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Cup of Nations Morocco 2024 on Monday evening.

Ghana struck first through Princella Adubea in the 12th minute, finishing from the centre of the box to give her side a deserved early lead.

Tanzania responded well, and just before halftime, Stumai Athumani drew them level, capitalizing on a headed assist from Enekia Lunyamila to make it 1–1 heading into the break.

Ghana came out firing in the second half and regained control through a 63rd-minute penalty calmly converted by Alice Kusi after Princess Marfo was brought down in the area.

The momentum remained firmly with the Black Queens, who extended their lead in the 87th minute when Evelyn Badu tapped in from close range following a set-piece.

Just minutes later, Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah put the result beyond doubt, finishing a swift counter-attack with precision to make it 4–1 in stoppage time.

Ghana's resillience ultimately proved too much for the Tanzanians, who fought valiantly but were overrun in the latter stages of the match.

With this result, the Black Queens of Ghana powered into the knockout stages, showcasing their strength and intent to go deep in the tournament.
