Black Maidens Hit Seven Past Accrington Stanley Ladies in Senegal Qualifier Tune-Up
The Black Maidens sent out a strong statement ahead of their decisive FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup qualifying clash with Senegal after cruising to a commanding 7-0 victory over Accrington Stanley Football Club Ladies in a friendly match at the Accra Sports Stadium on Thursday.
The comprehensive win served as the final warm-up fixture for head coach Joe Nana Adarkwa’s side before Saturday’s crucial second-leg encounter, with the technical team using the game to fine-tune tactics and assess the squad’s readiness.
Accringtonton Ladies, the women’s team of UK-based Accrington Stanley Football Club, are currently on a training tour of Ghana and provided the Black Maidens with valuable opposition in the build-up to the continental qualifier.
Ghana’s U-17 girls were in complete control throughout the contest, dictating possession, creating numerous scoring opportunities and displaying ruthless finishing in front of goal. Equally impressive was their defensive discipline, as they prevented their opponents from posing any real attacking threat.
The convincing scoreline highlighted the team’s growing momentum and confidence as preparations enter the final stage before the showdown with Senegal.
Attention now shifts to Saturday’s must-win qualifier at the Accra Sports Stadium, where the Black Maidens will look to capitalise on home advantage and secure qualification for the FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup with another strong performance in front of their supporters.
