Ghana's Black Queens face a must-win clash against Tanzania today in what has become a do-or-die encounter in the group stage of the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
Following a 2-0 defeat in their opening match against defending champions South Africa and a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Mali, the Queens find themselves with just a single point after two games.
Anything less than a victory against Tanzania at the Berkane Municipal Stadium on Monday will almost certainly end their hopes of advancing to the quarterfinals.
Despite the pressure, there are reasons for optimism.
