In a showdown of security services, Army Ladies secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Police Ladies at the University of Ghana Stadium, clinching the coveted 2023/24 Ghana Women’s FA Cup title.
From the outset, both teams launched into action with fervor, applying intense pressure in pursuit of an early breakthrough while maintaining defensive solidity.
Despite numerous goal attempts from both sides, the first half concluded in a deadlock, with neither team managing to find the back of the net.
After the interval, Army Ladies seized the initiative, breaking the deadlock just four minutes into the second half through Deborah Opoku, who capitalized on a defensive error by the Police goalkeeper with a close-range tap-in.
Undeterred by the deficit, Police Ladies intensified their offensive efforts, launching attacks from all angles, yet failed to convert their chances.
However, Army Ladies faced a setback when goalscorer Deborah Opoku received a red card from referee Rejoice Addokwei, reducing them to ten players for the final twenty minutes of the match.
Despite the numerical disadvantage, Army Ladies held firm to secure a hard-fought 1-0 victory at full time, claiming their inaugural Women’s FA Cup title in a historic triumph.
