WAFCON 2026: Ghana Beat Cape Verde 2-0 in Group D Opener

WAFCON 2026: Ghana Beat Cape Verde 2-0 in Group D Opener

Ghana’s Black Queens opened their WAFCON 2026 Group D campaign with a 2-0 win over tournament debutants Cape Verde. Doris Boaduwaa gave Ghana an early lead in the sixth minute after a Portia Boakye assist. Cape Verde defender Eleia Vieira scored an own goal in the 54th minute to seal the result. Cape Verde’s historic first match at the continental finals ended with 10 players after Klaydiana Borges was sent off in stoppage time. Ghana now build on a strong start as they seek to improve on their bronze-medal finish at the previous edition.

Ghana got the ideal start through Boaduwaa, then the own goal gave them breathing room in the second half.

A 2-0 opening win is solid, but the own goal means Ghana should not get too carried away yet.
