Ghana's Black Princesses on Sunday ensured the country's dominance over South Africa by posting a 2-1 victory over Basetsana in an international friendly match played at the Ohene Djan Sports Stadium in Accra.
With a goal in each half, the national U-20 team played a much improved game unlike their first match on Friday where a late equalizer by Diana Amankwah forced a draw to save the Ghanaians from defeat.
The Basetsane's came close to getting the opener after a misunderstanding between Ghana’s skipper Olivia Amoako and goalkeeper Gladys' Quansah but Saabi Ama scoop the ball off the goal line.
The Ghanaians managed to grab the opener from the spot when Amankwah was brought down in the penalty box.
Amenuku put the ball beyond Basetsana goalkeeper, Mandy five minutes after the half hour mark to send the stadium chanting.
With two minutes to go for recess, the South Africans drew level through a volley from their 16-year old inspirational skipper Nyandeni Wompumelelo.
Nyandeni against the run of play picked a ball from the midfield and had the better of her maker by shielding well before volleying the ball over advancing keeper Quansah.
The Ghanaians returned from the break to notch the winner in the 65th minute with a strike from substitute Adu Twumwaah Florence. The player who had just replaced Annin Henrietta connected beautifully a move masterminded by creative Zikpi from an acute angle.
