The Black Queens made a disappointing start to their 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations campaign following a 2-0 defeat to champions South Africa at the Honneur Stadium in Oujda on Monday.
Despite a spirited performance, the Queens were undone by two quick first-half goals from Banyana Banyana, whose experience and attacking quality proved decisive.
The defeat puts early pressure on Ghana as they seek to progress from a challenging Group C.
Alice Kusi came close to putting Ghana ahead with a powerful strike that smashed against the crossbar, while Evelyn Badu also hit the woodwork with a header from close range.
