Stella Nyamekye excels in Ghana’s overwhelming victory over Benin at WAFU B U-20

Ghana’s Black Princesses were too hot for their Benin counterparts in the first game of the WAFU B U-20 Girls competition, which is currently taking place in Kumasi.
Mafia Nyame of Faith Ladies scored Ghana’s first goal in the 35th minute before the game was called off.

The Princesses continued their strong play in the second half of the game.
Basigi’s team continued to attack and came within a goal in the 58th minute when Helen Alormenu headed over from a lovely ball from Wasima Mohammed.
The ladies’ constant attack paid off when Ampem Darkoa’s Mary Amponsah increased Ghana’s tally in the 61st minute before Dreams Ladies Skipper Stella Nyamekye closed it up with a spectacular free kick in the 68th minute.

Nyamekye was named “Player of the Match” after playing an important part in Ghana’s stunning victory over Benin at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
Yusif Basigi’s team now only needs a draw against the Ivory Coast in their next match on May 27th to go to the next round of the tournament.

Ghana will host the inaugural WAFU B U-20 Girls tournament in Kumasi from Saturday, May 20 through Saturday, June 3, 2023.

King Faisal relegated from Ghana Premier League

King Faisal has been relegated from the betPawa Premier League and will play in Division One.
Their relegation was sealed when Karela United defeated Bibiani GoldStars 3-2 at the Crosby Awuah Memorial (CAM) Park.
With one game left in the season, King Faisal’s destiny is determined, since they will finish no higher than 16th, regardless of the results of the last matches.
King Faisal is currently in 17th position with 39 points, three points behind Tamale City, who is narrowly outside the relegation zone.
If King Faisal wins their final game of the season and Tamale City loses, they will have equaled Tamale City’s point total. However, owing to their weaker head-to-head record against Tamale City this season (a 4-1 advantage for Tamale City), King Faisal would be unable to finish ahead of them.
King Faisal joins Kotoku Royals as the second Premier League team to be demoted this season.
On the last day of the season, the final relegation position will be determined. Hearts of Oak, Karela United, Accra Lions, Legon Cities, Tamale City, and Great Olympics are all fighting for survival.
