WAFCON 2024: Ghana edge Algeria to reach semis

Ghana secured their place in the semi-finals of the TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations after a dramatic 4-2 penalty shootout victory over Algeria.


The encounter ended in a goalless draw, and after extra time at Stade Mohamed V in Casablanca.

Ghana approved to have taken the lead midway through the first half when Stella Nyamekye found the net, but the goal was ruled out for offside after a VAR review.

Doris Boaduwaa, Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah, and Evelyn Badu, the Black Queens were denied by a spirited Algerian backline and goalkeeper Chloé N’Gazi.

Josephine Bonsu, Doris Boaduwaa, Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah, and Evelyn Badu all converted for Ghana, while Sofia Guellati, and Laura Muller were successful for Algeria.

Konlan’s heroics ensured a 4-2 win on penalties and booked Ghana a place in the final four.
