Black Queens midfielder Jennifer Cudjoe has admitted that Ghana's semifinal exit at the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) is a tough pill to swallow.
Ghana suffered a painful 4-2 defeat on penalties to host nation Morocco after a 1-1 draw in regulation and extra time at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat.
The Queens had taken an early lead through Stella Nyamekye, but Sakina Ouzraoui Diki levelled for the Atlas Lionesses in the second half to send the tie into extra time and eventually to penalties.
Misses by Evelyn Badu and Comfort Yeboah in the shootout handed Morocco the win, denying Ghana a spot in the WAFCON final for the first time since 1998. "It's really hard luck today, I have to say.
