From there, Ghana took full control. Evelyn Badu added the third in the 87th minute, poking in from close range after a set-piece caused chaos in the Tanzanian box.
In stoppage time, Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah completed the rout with a clinical finish at the end of a blistering counterattack, sealing a commanding 4–1 victory for the West African giants.
Despite Tanzania’s spirited effort, Ghana’s relentless pressure and sharp finishing proved decisive as they marched confidently into the next stage of the tournament.
