00:00For Women's World Cups.
00:12Enter the fray.
00:15Mali playing in white.
00:17Get the ball rolling here at the Moulay Rashid Stadium here in Casablanca.
00:23Ghana collecting in the midfield.
00:25And with Accentua claiming the possession.
00:31Who will control the midfield tonight?
00:33To the corner.
00:34And a good race coming here from Cousy.
00:37Cousy will get there first.
00:38She gets the ball over.
00:39It's a good delivery.
00:40Who's gonna get the header?
00:41Great save from the goalkeeper, Carincao.
00:44That's him.
00:47Carincao denied.
00:50Denying Doris Buadua.
00:52Look at the run here.
00:54Alice Cousy.
00:55First time cross.
00:57And she's the danger.
01:00Woman up front, isn't she?
01:03Doris Buadua, 23 years of age.
01:08Again, you can't play with fires.
01:10A long range shot coming in.
01:12And why not?
01:13You can understand what she's doing there.
01:17Already Serratou just winning the ball in the midfield.
01:19And she looks up and, well, the goalkeeper's off the line.
01:22She's a little bit far back as she hits it.
01:26Didn't drive through and really, like Queens.
01:30That's good use.
01:31That's good protection of the ball.
01:32It's a long range shot.
01:33It's, well, got a little bit wild to the right side.
01:36But it's, uh, took a deflection.
01:40It's gonna be a corner, in fact.
01:42She's dangerous.
01:43Plays the football in, uh, southwest of France down at Albi,
01:47which is a stone's throw away from Coulouse.
01:52Another firm challenge.
01:54Saratou this time going down.
01:55And Cousy has been told to calm down.
02:01She went in very strong there.
02:03That little hesitation.
02:05They gotta hold back and purposely get in the way of Saratou.
02:08Referee doesn't like that.
02:09Totally understand.
02:10Here on the left-hand side.
02:11There's the delivery coming in.
02:12It's not bad at all.
02:14Dealt with at the back.
02:14But, uh, only as far as the, the Ghanaian midfielder.
02:18Rifled shot there.
02:19Beautifully struck from Asandua.
02:22And dealt with perfectly by Carantau as well.
02:26The good option.
02:28I like what she did.
02:28First of all, the control was brilliant.
02:30And a little bit too close to the goalkeeper.
02:33But she does pack a really good shot.
02:36The FC Juarez player based in Mexico with that wonderful league.
02:40This is Cousy with the corner.
02:43It's gone up high.
02:44Well, it's dropped down.
02:46Is anybody there to try and hit it?
02:47Shot coming in.
02:48Low shot.
02:49Blocks.
02:51Coming in from Boyd Loha.
02:54There's Cousy with the delivery there.
02:55Queuing up at the back.
02:56Oh, the shot is not the right one.
02:58Dealt with by Ferrantou.
03:00Three players queuing up.
03:04That will make us think that there might be answer to Liberge.
03:12Oh, Vendela Roche could be the player coming on.
03:16Unless she's okay to go.
03:22Oh, that was the clash.
03:24Coming in with Chantal Boyd Loha.
03:28Nice touch.
03:29Goes inside.
03:30Pulls it back.
03:31Nicely done.
03:32I like what they're doing here.
03:33Finally, Yeboah.
03:34And there's the cross coming in.
03:36There's the delivery.
03:37It's a header that's gone tamely into the hands of Carantou.
03:41Looks like she's over.
03:45Lovely touch.
03:46Cousy gets the ball over.
03:48It's been cleared there by the Malian central defender.
03:52Sissoko comes to the rescue in a big way.
03:59Well, tape to tape my papers and my notes to the desk just in front of me.
04:07Otherwise, they do turn in.
04:13Here it is coming in.
04:14There's the delivery right into the penalty box.
04:16Anybody to get a shot in?
04:18There's a scramble.
04:19It has been pulled back.
04:20A chance for a header.
04:22Only Garnetian players there.
04:24And there is an infringement.
04:26It will be a free kick finally for Garnet.
04:29All over the job.
04:30Watch out.
04:31Doris Boudoir's about.
04:32She's got a chance for a shot.
04:34But that's not gonna go forward.
04:37You can see that Koudon getting brought down before she could untangle herself.
04:45We'll have a look at this again.
04:47Definitely not offside.
04:49It's that move there, the right arm on the neck.
05:08It's not a bad one.
05:10It's not a bad one.
05:11It's been taken well there by Cynthia Conlan.
05:14She saw it coming.
05:20Struck it well.
05:21High over the wall it was from a distance.
05:28Bogor on that left-hand side.
05:29Garner on the attack.
05:31Trying to get the ball back across.
05:32It doesn't manage to find a teammate.
05:35Player struck in the face and the referee reacting immediately.
05:43It can take the wind out of your sails if it's hit with a little bit of force.
05:51Two matches.
05:53Nice ball down the right side.
05:54Chrissi gets the ball over.
05:55Takes a deflection.
05:56Punched away.
05:57Oli Bez doesn't manage to clear it.
05:59It's there for the taking.
06:01Can they find the goal?
06:02Can they get the shot in?
06:04Pull back.
06:05Chance for a shot.
06:06Driven in.
06:07Solid defensive header there.
06:10Danger has not been cleared though.
06:13Don't mess around.
06:14Get rid of it.
06:15Sata finally on a little bit of a dance.
06:18I like it.
06:19They're back.
06:20Here's Doris Boisdua.
06:21Boisdua goes for the shot.
06:23Crossbar over the top.
06:26Denied by the woodwork.
06:30A beautiful one-two there between Cousy and Boisdua.
06:37First time shot, she knew it.
06:40Hits it so well with that lethal right foot of hers.
06:43As it cracks off the woodwork.
06:53Of that elusive goal at the end of the first half.
06:56It's a great delivery.
06:57Libert is coming to the rescue.
07:00And that's a very strong statement.
07:07Clearance.
07:08She came through forward on the left-hand side.
07:10That's the delivery they're looking for.
07:12Oh, Libert comes to the rescue to deny Yeboah.
07:16The flag does go up.
07:18But that was a classy delivery.
07:21Coming from that left-hand side.
07:25From Boyi Hloka.
07:27Gets a touch as well.
07:30And Lieberster Diana.
07:32There's the delivery coming in.
07:33From Post.
07:34Great header.
07:35Great goal.
07:35Garner take the lead.
07:38Perfectly set up.
07:40And look at that for a header.
07:42An absolute class axe from Evelyn Badu.
07:47But beautifully set up.
07:53Chantelle Boyi Hloka.
07:58Very important in the build-up play.
08:02That delivery that came across was top notch.
08:06First of all, it goes down to the Nottingham Forest player.
08:09She pulls it back.
08:12First time delivery.
08:14Brilliant header.
08:15And how about that?
08:16That is top quality.
08:23And there's your header going in.
08:29The angled header beating Lieberge.
08:38And Evelyn Badu scoring her first goal here at Wafcon.
08:44And Garner.
08:45Oh, it's a mistake there from Koudon.
08:48And the ball's been picked up here.
08:50There's Yeboah.
08:51Oh, she should have left it.
08:52But the shot comes in directly towards the goalkeeper from Doris Boisdwa.
08:57And she should have dummied that.
09:01Good chance here for Mali on the attack.
09:04And smashed away.
09:09Has been kept in.
09:10And that's going to be the half-time whistle here.
09:14From Ulay Rashid Stadium in Casablanca.
09:17A very highly energized 45 minutes of football.
09:26As we get the second half going here.
09:32Long ball going high.
09:34There's two players waiting for the communication.
09:38There's the volley.
09:38The volley was just blocked.
09:41It's a handball there.
09:42And it was, well, Diara went for the volley.
09:51She struck it really well.
09:52Badu getting in the way.
09:54The rush is a little bit too past.
09:57Satya.
09:58Satya gets the ball back.
09:59Mali on the attack.
10:00It's an opportunist moment here for Mali to try and exploit this situation.
10:06Oh, she's, she might be okay, the captain.
10:10Bocque, she's trying to run it off.
10:15I honestly thought that that was a lot more serious.
10:17Just because there was nothing, no contacts.
10:21And there she is.
10:23I'm going to exchange with a coach.
10:29As we get back to what's happening on the pitch with Mali.
10:34Can she continue?
10:35She's hobbling still, Bocque.
10:45Long ball going high.
10:47There's the, there's two players waiting for the communication.
10:50There's the volley.
10:51The volley was just blocked.
10:53It's a handball there.
10:55And it was, well, Diara went for the volley.
11:03She struck it really well.
11:05Badu getting in the way.
11:07Not with the bandaged arm, but the other one it was.
11:11.
11:19Treatment still.
11:22for their 11th player.
11:25Wacky.
11:34And four players in the wall.
11:36This is a very well-placed free kick, Dembele.
11:43Looks like she's not gonna, she's gonna take this.
11:51Who knows?
11:55Diabate might be taking it, Saratou there as well.
12:02But she would be stood on the other side with the right foot of hers.
12:06It looks like it's Diabate.
12:11Diabate with the right foot, it's shot, it's a great goal!
12:15Marley have scored an equalizer, and she's only just come onto the pitch.
12:20A brilliant free kick, and a goal has been scored there.
12:31Caridiato Diabate and the Mande team player has scored a brilliant goal.
12:40It's our first game and our first minutes here.
12:46Diabate playing in this WAFCON, what a fabulous moment.
12:49Right footed, takes a wicked deflection.
12:56There's nothing you can do about that.
12:58Look at her, she tries to fly over to the right side.
13:02But just look at that deflection of Boyd Lorca.
13:06And she's already going to the left, but she nearly manages to get it.
13:11Cynthia Conlan and Diabate, lots of movement.
13:14The ball comes in, it's headed away there by Isata Traore.
13:19And the Boston Legacy player who was part of the team in 2018 that managed to beat Garner and Ascord.
13:30Again, that's two goals for her.
13:32Free kick here for Marley.
13:34High ball into the penalty box, taken very well there by Cynthia Conlan.
13:52And another player down in the penalty box.
13:57Alice Kusi from Kumasi, the Shanti region of Ghana with the delivery coming in.
14:05That's so close, the header.
14:09And Doris Bardois, so good in the air, look at her.
14:14That was half a yard wide of the target, on target.
14:19And I'm sure that that would have bounced past Liberge and then gone into the back of the net.
14:26Oh, it's a nice ball, it's been picked up, the shot potentially.
14:30It's gonna go out wide, and a chance for the delivery coming in from the right-hand side.
14:34There's the delivery, far post, header at the back post!
14:36It's surely in the back of the net!
14:38They can't get it in!
14:39There's the shot maybe blocked from Liberge into her hands!
14:43What a scramble!
14:45Incredible scenes there in the six-yard box.
14:49First of all, the delivery came over.
14:51Boy Hiloka, and just look at that, she couldn't quite untangle herself from there, Alice Kusi.
14:58And very courageous defensive work there from Tennyson Sissoko as well.
15:04Look at that.
15:06Off has got a yellow card, so it doesn't affect her.
15:09There's the ball coming over.
15:11Nice delivery there!
15:12And it's the defense who comes to the rescue at the back.
15:16Aliadiane just getting ahead of Doris Bois.
15:19Tent scenario here with the 1-1.
15:22That's a great ball.
15:23Picks up here by Doris Bois.
15:25Gets the ball across!
15:27Great goal!
15:27Look at that!
15:29And a fabulous finish!
15:32And Evelyn Badu getting a second!
15:37Outstanding!
15:39Going to take a two-goal lead!
15:44It just looks so simple.
15:47And Doris Bois is working her magic down the right-hand side.
15:52Let's just have a look at this once again.
15:56Well, take a closer look, I'm sure.
15:58But Kusi gets the ball down there to Bois.
16:02It's an easy finish.
16:03It really is for Evelyn Badu.
16:06And the Montreal Roses forward with the perfect first touch.
16:13Side-footing the ball in.
16:18But the big question is, is it offside?
16:34There's your answer.
16:40I think from the replay, we got to see that first-hand showing too much of the ball collected there
16:50by Asentuwa.
16:52What option has she got?
16:53Oh, she gets brought down.
16:55That's going to be a yellow.
16:57That's going to be a yellow card for Dembele.
17:02And she hasn't got a yellow card, so she won't miss the next game from any of the previous two
17:12clashes.
17:12But she was off.
17:14And I love what she's doing in the midfield, the FC Juarez player in Mexico.
17:22She's got a wonderful acceleration, isn't she?
17:26Close body control and plays for Bran in Norway.
17:39Saratou gets the shot.
17:40It's a massive deflection.
17:42It's going to be a corner against Diabate.
17:48Diabate with the right foot.
17:50It's shot.
17:50It's a great goal!
17:51Marley have scored an equalizer, and she's only just come onto the pitch.
17:58A brilliant free kick, and a goal has been scored there.
18:09Caridiatou Diabate, and the Mande team player has scored a brilliant goal.
18:17It's her first game and her first minutes here, playing in this WAFCON.
18:25What a fabulous moment, right-footed, takes a wicked deflection.
18:33There's nothing you can do about that.
18:35Look at her.
18:37She tries to fly over to the right side, but just look at that deflection of Boyt Lorca.
18:43And she's already going to the left, but she nearly manages to get it.
18:48Cynthia Conlan and Diabate.
18:54The midfield battle continues.
18:56That's a good ball into the penalty box.
18:57Who can get there first?
18:58Oh, it's just not being controlled as well as she would have liked.
19:05Going up, and a chance here.
19:06There's a chance of the pass out to the left or to the right.
19:09Oh, there's too many players coming back, still with a chance for a shot.
19:14Has been picked up here.
19:16Down the left side they go.
19:18Niamakye.
19:20Good work from Sissoko.
19:22Picked up and fired to the edge of the penalty box.
19:26Long-range shot.
19:27It's a big drive there through the middle.
19:29The idea was good, and Asentuo was valiantly going behind.
19:36Going to pick up possession here.
19:39There's the shot.
19:40It's a great stop again by Lieberge.
19:44Well, Diabate.
19:45Look, everybody's up in the penalty box.
19:47Diabate gets the ball into the penalty box.
19:49It's taken there.
19:51Well, it's been held by Konyan, and that should be enough.
19:57And there it is, the final whistle.
20:00Ghana have qualified for the quarterfinals once again.
20:07They've done enough to deny Mahli a place in the last eight.
20:14What a battle it was.
20:18And Evelyn Badu, the first Wafcon goal.
20:24The 22-year-old Montreal Roses player scoring the important goal that gave them the lead.
20:31Diabate equalized.
20:33And Evelyn Badu.
20:34I love you.
20:40Then I'll see you next time.
20:41And out.
20:41Bye.
20:41Bye.
20:42Bye.
20:42Bye.
