Black Queens midfielder Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah has praised goalkeeper Cynthia Konlan for her "amazing" performance against Algeria. Ghana cruised over Algeria with a 4-2 penalty shootout win in the quarterfinal on Saturday afternoon to book a place in the last four.
Goalkeeper Cynthia made two saves as the Black Queens qualified for the semifinals for the first time since 2016.. "Amazing, I told the whole of Ghana to believe in us," Chantelle said. "We pushed it, we gave a couple of heart attacks, but [the belief from everyone] pushed us through. "Cynthia [goalkeeper] made it easy for us.
She put us ahead by saving.
In my eyes, a goalkeeper should never save a penalty.
