Ghana’s Black Maidens recorded a resounding 3-1 victory against Guinea in the first leg of the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup qualifying third-round tie.
The Maidens opened the scoring through captain Georgina Ayisha Aoyem after just 13th minutes.
Shortly after that Rasheeda Shahadu consolidated Ghana’s lead with a tidy finish to end the first half 0-2 to Ghana.
