The Black Queens of Ghana failed to make it to the finals of the ongoing Africa Women’s Cup of Nations after losing to Cameroon in the semi-final.
The Queens were pipped to by the Cameroonians in the 71st minute courtesy a goal from Feudjo Raissa.
The Queens who were yet to taste a defeat in the competition were left disappointed in a game that was witnessed by intimidating Cameroonian fans.
Ghana had won two of their group matches against Mali and Kenya and managed a draw against Nigeria to set up a date Indomitable Lionesses.
Both teams demonstrated determination and an urge to secure the ticket to the finals of the tournament but it was the Cameroonians who had the last laugh.
With nineteen minutes to end the game, the Lionesses punished the Queens after goalkeeper Nana Ama Asantewaa failed to grab a shot at goal at the first attempt.
The Cameroonian attacker who was in the goal area of the Queens made no mistake in finding the back of the net.
Ghana will have to play for bronze upon meeting the loser of the second semifinal game between South Africa and nine time champions, Nigeria.
