Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Mukarama Abdulai clinched victory for Ghana in the women\u2019s football final at the 2023 African Games with a spectacular winning goal against Nigeria.<\/b><\/p>\n

The striker\u2019s sensational strike found the bottom corner of the net, igniting jubilation among the fans at the Cape Coast Stadium.<\/p>\n

Her decisive goal, struck in the first half of extra time, secured the gold medal for Ghana and marked a significant upset as they dethroned Nigeria, who entered the match undefeated and without conceding a goal in three previous games, while netting eight themselves.<\/p>\n

Nigeria initially took the lead in the 23rd minute through Edeh Njideka, capitalising on an error by Ghana goalkeeper Afi Amenyeku. Despite a few close calls, Ghana rallied after the break, displaying greater determination and purpose.<\/p>\n

Their persistence paid off in the 77th minute when Tracey Twum levelled the score with a powerful shot. Ghana continued to press forward, narrowly missing an opportunity to clinch victory in regulation time.<\/p>\n

In extra time, Mukarama Abdulai emerged as the hero for Ghana, netting the winning goal in the 98th minute to seal the victory and spark celebrations among the home crowd.<\/p>\n

The gold medal secured by the Black Princesses elevates Ghana\u2019s total gold count to 11. Now, all eyes are on the U-20 men\u2019s team, the Black Satellites, as they aim to replicate this success in their final showdown against Uganda on Friday night.<\/p>\n
