Ghana’s male and female Olympic football teams where in action over the weekend as they attempted to progress in the qualifiers for Rio 2016.
The Black Queens hosted Egypt in Accra, beating the North Africans by 3 clear goals to qualify 4-1 on aggregate. The Meteors were not so lucky, losing 1-0 in Brazzaville and subsequently losing 5-4 on penalties to the Congolese.
The first leg in the Ghana-Egypt clash ended 1-1 in Cairo, giving the Queens a clear advantage provided they could capitalise on their home turf in the second leg.
And capitalise they did, pummelling the Pharaohs 3-0. Portia Boakye gave Ghana the lead, before Jane Ayieyam and Elizabeth Addo rounded up the victory.
