Ghana and Nigeria wrapped up the two-leg international friendly match series on Thursday with the visitors winning the final game 2-1.

After losing the first game 3-2 to Ghana on Tuesday, the Falconets came from a goal down at the Accra Sports Stadium to claim victory against the Black Princesses to hand each side with a win apiece.

Both sides used the games to prepare towards their participation at the up-coming FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup in Japan next month.

Elizabeth Addo put Ghana in front after two minutes as the Black Princesses dominated their rivals.

But five minutes after the interval, Nigeria drew level when Desire Oparanozie headed past Black Princesses goalkeeper Margaret Otoo.

The visitors with eight minutes remaining scored the winner through Winifred Eyebhoria.
