Ghana’s female senior national team – the Black Queens – got off to a winning start in the WAFU Zone B championship by beating their Senegalese counterparts by 2-0.

Two second half goals from Evelyn Badu and Mukarama Abdullai helped Ghana to secure the comfortable win.

Despite creating many chances in the first half none of the sides was able to break the deadlock.

Evelyn Badu broke the deadlock of the game in 74th minutes as she slotted home a nice finish.

Substitute Mukarama Abdullai made it 2-0 for Ghana in additional time as the Black Queens wrapped up their win.
