The decisive moment came in the 24th minute when Evelyn Badu calmly slotted home a cross from the left, giving Ghana an early lead.
Despite being reduced to ten players for the final 27 minutes, Coach Kim Lars Björkegren’s side held firm to protect their narrow advantage. Midfielder Anasthesia Achiaa was shown a second yellow card and sent off in the 63rd minute, putting Ghana under pressure.
