Black Queens head coach Kim Lars Björkegren stood by his team after Ghana's narrow semi-final defeat to Morocco at the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), highlighting their effort and spirit despite the painful result. "We deserve a win you can see when it comes to expected goals when it comes to a team that is under one goal that's a normal win.

We were a little bit unlucky today.

Then again I can't be more proud of the girls how hard they worked today," Björkegren said after the game.

Ghana started strongly and took the lead in the 26th minute through teenager Stella Nyamekye, who forced the ball across the line after consistent pressure.
