00:00some confidence having disposed of Algeria in the previous match
00:06a touch is the right back for Morocco at a outstanding game against Mali in the quarter
00:16final but Ghana in possession played out wide by Boudoir for I chair the
00:23long-standing veteran of the side in the middle of the park dictating things
00:34the goalkeeper this is Mrabat she was taken off at half-time in the last game good ball though for
00:41Msoudi must say Msoudi impressed coming on for Morocco at Everton in Liverpool
00:51taken away by Kuju shot now on goal and the first one hits in anger by Boye Flocka
01:12watch again that's a chance now for Ghana shot goes in straight at the keeper
01:17maybe a bit more space a bit more time to maneuver yeah did the did the trigger go a little too early
01:24I thought she could have made a little bit of ground
01:27now here again I thought she could have covered a little bit of ground once again another rush shot
01:32from from Prince Spanish born Belgian raised Morocco international yes the skipper
01:39shot comes in on the right foot again a little hasty both of these sides on some occasion those girls but
01:52there's a bit of skullduggery going on there Mrabat gets a clearing head up
01:56back in again he has a great charge oh it's a goal no yes it is Ghana have scored what a superb initial
02:09save but the follow-up in the back of the net didn't cross the line before there was a touch
02:13well I don't think Ghana we particularly concerned about the identity of the goal scorer just yet
02:20struck with some venom that shot what a save that was initially I thought it was flying into the back
02:27of the net yeah what a save uh uh Mark but uh you have to also just marvel the play and the build-up
02:34leading to this goal as Santel variants which is the ball direction very quickly and we spoke about
02:40the importance and how crucial those crosses are for Ghana and here once again they capitalized
02:45Shantel with a perfectly weighted header into the corner to beat and Rishi
02:53well it was Bonsu actually and uh it looked as if it might have crossed the line had it not had a little
02:58bit of intervention but I think looking at that Yamechya does get a touch before the full circumference
03:07of the ball is uh over the line so the goal should be credited to her yeah and the fact uh it is on the
03:17uh loudspeakers here pushing forward Mrabat Msudi a little bit of space opening up for her but then
03:25she just hesitated now Uzrawi try to uh get her foot onto that but uh that's that they need to take
03:34special care of now Benzina is in a bit of trouble here Robert gives it away good pressing from Ghana
03:41boy Krokra gets it across chance at the back post bit of a wild shot there with time from princess Mafu
03:49boy Krokra to Bonsu as well
03:59Asantewa she's been delivering a lot of good balls in that penalty area
04:04what do I turns around he has a chance at the back post what's the referee going to say here goal kick
04:11I think just for a moment or two there were a few uh hearts and mouths here amongst the moroccan crowd
04:18Badri put a space there for Shemak out wide to Msudi red one he's gone on the overlap
04:25great ball inside for Shemak down she goes corner kick says the ref no penalty
04:32crowd are all appealing
04:38and of course VAR will check it they're ready to look dangerous
04:43yep a good through call from Serbi looking closer back
04:48but of course a close call for the referee well the first touch there from uh defender Dua
04:55I think the referee got that spot on referee says no and quite rightly so too
05:05oh the card won't like that either
05:11crowd doesn't like every referee completely completely correct
05:16gave one corner kick after the aggregate time was over of course you didn't give the other one
05:20and that is the way the end the first half ends it is 1-0 yes 1-0 Ghana leading Morocco with the
05:27Inyameki a goal in the middle 26 here on bs rules
05:33for Ghana pretty much uh keep it going but of course I think they too will make some changes
05:37that will really up the ante a little bit from the bench you still have the likes of Badu
05:41there's Kusi as well who's quite dangerous but for the Moroccans they too still have the likes of
05:45Lamari tank now that can still come in uh Saud that can really up the ante as they've done in the past games
05:54Ghana very physical in the challenges
05:57Badri gets the free kick on that occasion but also feeling the challenge coming in from Marfu
06:06Raba Redwani not seeing enough of her up and down on the left hand side
06:16do they have a nickname by the way we're talking about the black queens and Morocco
06:20I don't think I've seen one anywhere no atlas lions for the men's team but uh atlas lionesses I suppose maybe
06:26oh chance yeah oh my word they could well have finished it off there could have been a double for
06:34Yamiche she was far too hasty Shemak beaten in the challenge another good little interception there from Kuju
06:44Badri right footed shots keeper touches it over Morocco corner that's better from the home team
06:55much much better from Badri facing Ghana in the qualifiers in October for the next Wafcon
07:00Morocco of course it qualified automatically as hosts and yes Raidi it's her first real chance
07:07they got the equaliser squeezed in it looks like now we will claim it
07:24well people failing to hold on to the ball going to pay the price as Morocco equalize
07:37long ball out of defense good steel initially
07:59so the shot from Jairi blocks little loop for the backspin
08:02and credit to Uzraoui from for following up yeah good presence of mind from Uzraoui to just make
08:11sure that she gets behind her on that second ball gives her a chance at goal but that initial attack
08:18from the Moroccans a good long ball to bypass the midfield and this is a tactical ploy from the coach
08:25who came out in the second half with three strikers to really try and put pressure on the defenders it was
08:30one v one and it's it's paid off it's definitely a coach's goal well the technical team realize that
08:40they celebrate with Jorge Wilder and as you progress you just keep collecting this money
08:46header away from Raba long-range shot is wide
08:51again a little bit hasty from Yeboah
08:54yeah the prize money for the last Wafcon was half a million so the winning team will get a million
08:59so it's gone up by a hundred percent
09:01Shemak
09:03Shemak
09:03and Sudi on the left foot tight angle great block corner
09:14skipper
09:19referee says that's it she's not playing any more time so 1-1 it is after 90 minutes
09:25we are going to extra time
09:29there had to be drama in this rivalry and we're going to go to extra time
09:33here on being sports 1-1 after 90 minutes played
09:38and we'll have 30 more minutes of free soccer should we find a winner there we're done
09:43but we do play the entire 30 minutes should we not find the winner there
09:47everything ready for the second half
09:55the kitchen sink is finally in now the likes of tag now it's very instrumental especially in that
10:00offensive there's her first touch good one to find Shemak sets her on her way
10:07up wide yet to Redwani Morocco looking for an early strike here in the second half
10:11Saoud her first touch
10:17Benzina again
10:19right he's been well marked today by Dua
10:23but here comes tugged out with her pace up against Yeboah
10:27can she get it square floats in air fairly easy for Komlan who wants to get garner on the attack quickly but
10:35it was a bittersweet moment for us as well as south africa during those games
10:47now good pressure on rubber but she does get it clear and as far as your borough just
10:52moves that forward keeper flaps at it oh and the rebound almost drops on the head of evelyn badu
10:59wow that might have been as dramatic a conclusion and then at one little cost from Yeboah and a real
11:09heart-stopping moment for the Moroccans yeah i think the Moroccans now resorting back into that
11:17transition play and going on the counter the Moroccans still really want to get that combination play
11:22tag now it's really instrumental in making sure on this left hand but i think equally important for the
11:27parents uh to to realize that uh this is actually a good career absolutely a good space to be in but
11:34i think that conservatism is pretty much evaporated hasn't it well i mean uh in the northern parts of
11:41africa maybe yes we still have a lot of work to do in the western part central where we still believe
11:46that women belong in the kitchen and there's no career in football but this is a great reference
11:51that canals representing they're progressing as well into the semi-finals nigerians have been really
12:00benzina that fell for somalia but her first touch is a little heavy she's managed to try and win this
12:07ball back gives away the free kick though and another stoppage as tugged out goes down there's the goal
12:16scorer who's now we on the left referee says that's it so two hours of football one goal apiece and we still
12:28so we will go to penalty kicks to see who makes it into the final versus nigeria of course a commentator
12:39so that shemak is not on the field anymore zhraidy is yes al-haj eight al-haj
12:49does well sends the keeper the wrong way perfect start for the host nation
12:58josephine bonsu will be the first for ghana and immediately the pressure's on her but she took the
13:05first penalty against algeria and stuck it in the back of the net she covers her ears as the crowd
13:12whistle ghana's first penalty of the shootout
13:18does so successfully calmly as well as like she would go down to the shops for a loaf of bread i think
13:27that long walk was just really to reaffirm herself to shut out the noise you choose your spots and just
13:33give it a good amount of weight on on the ball
13:42he beats them is riding now the fit from london know that as well she would have watched that game
13:47he beats him riding oh same thing same finish same reaction
13:54no chance there from the keeper absolutely no chance it's as if ready ties this in her sleep
14:04she's got the experience as well full laces and just blast it in the back of the net
14:09up against uh the goalkeeper rechie and uh no chance there kusi
14:25super accurate and the small band are gone and fans they directly opposite us
14:31uh over on the far side noise amongst the uh whistles and jeers
14:40100 records so far who's gonna blink here chapelli goalkeeper cobbland
14:47smartly done
14:51well the penalty taking the other night absolutely superb yeah superb indeed
14:58the penalty sends the goalkeeper the wrong way not much power
15:06evelyn badu she's missed
15:12huge roar as morocco very in the lead
15:15badu misses keeper went the right way
15:27well she beats her for pace but the accuracy was missing just wide in the post 100 success can
15:34lamadi make it four out of four yes she can
15:37so now garner must score
15:46need one more to win if garner don't score it's all over

16:17desperate heartbreak for the black queens they did so well tonight but morocco are through
16:23four two four two on kicks
16:30oh hang on hang on hang on
16:33everybody is being sent away by the referee
16:37because she wants to check whether that ball
16:42they're checking that last kick but it is it is a save by the goal again unfortunately didn't miss
16:52a single one in the quarterfinals missed two out of four morocco didn't miss one
