It is thanks to their victory (1-0) on the team of South Africa that they get this ranking. The Ghanaian goal was scored in the 53rd minute by Linda Eshun, at the conclusion of an offensive by her partners. "It's the goals that make the win. Our players have had many opportunities that they have not been able to exploit, "said South Africa coach Desiree Ellis in a press conference. For his part, the coach of Ghana showed joy.
