Ghana\u2019s Black Princesses kicked off their WAFU B U20 Girls\u2019 Cup title defence with a convincing performance against Benin on Friday, November 7.<\/p>\n

The Black Princesses recorded a 2-0 win over the host country, with Linda Owusu Ansah and Sarah Nyarko getting on the scoresheet. <\/p>\n

Ghana enjoyed a great start to the game as they created a few chances from their wing play but were unfortunate not to break the deadlock. <\/p>\n

However, a long ball from Diana Amoako found Agnes Yeboah, who squared it into the path of Linda Owusu Anasah to open the scoring in the 23rd minute. <\/p>\n

Benin threatened very little in the opening half as they went into the break trailing. <\/p>\n

After the break, Black Princesses head coach Charles Sampson introduced Sarah Nyarko for Agnes Yeboah. <\/p>\n

The Dreamz Ladies midfielder scored the second goal of the game in the 78th minute to double Ghana\u2019s lead and take the game beyond the reach of the host nation. <\/p>\n
