00:00But didn't.
00:34But didn't have much of the ball in the game at all as they were playing defensively.
00:41But this is her moment.
00:45It's Sore for Burkina Faso.
00:48Keeper didn't even attempt.
00:50Yep.
00:50Good power.
00:51She already knew where she wanted to take it.
00:53And that's how you do it.
00:54Just pick a spot.
00:55Good composure.
00:57Sore makes it 1-0.
01:01Yeah, she deceived the keeper completely.
01:03And Musa knew she had no chance there.
01:07Next up, it's the defensive link to take Ghana's first penalty.
01:12Ayik Po.
01:18Statistically, it's an advantage to go first in a shootout.
01:23Of course, it's largely just about the luck of the draw, though.
01:26Ayik Po.
01:29Well, it's carbon copy, isn't it?
01:32Yeah, carbon copy.
01:34Usually, the ones that go up in the roof are very difficult for goalkeepers to save.
01:39But certainly, Ayik Po, very, very impressive throughout the tournament.
01:43She's shown great composure and calmly converts this one as well.
01:46Well, at this level, you are going to get a lot of missed penalties or saved penalties.
01:51At senior level, about four and five.
01:5580% go in.
01:57But it's a lower percentage at this level.
01:59It's a good going that the first two are in.
02:01Burkina Faso.
02:02Burkina Faso.
02:03Next up, Udrago, one of the defenders.
02:081-1.
02:11Shootout to determine the gold medalists in the girls' tournament.
02:19Udrago.
02:21Again, it is calm and it's about placement.
02:23It's about placement.
02:25You choose that corner, calmly tuck it in.
02:28Yeah, surely relieved after that.
02:312-1.
02:31Handling the pressure.
02:33The Burkina Faso girls.
02:38Would you not just dive and just take a chance as a keeper?
02:42Is that not overthinking it, waiting too much?
02:472-1 Burkina Faso.
02:49Next up, it's Azim Paga.
02:58Rahama Azim Paga for the Black Damsels to level it.
03:03Azim Paga.
03:04Ooh.
03:05Another well placed.
03:05The keeper was going in the right direction.
03:08Yeah.
03:08Zabre just apologizing there.
03:10She saw it.
03:10And this is what you want to see.
03:12Confidence.
03:14Of course, look at that.
03:16Confidence from Ghana as well.
03:18Good going from the girls so far.
03:20All four have gone in.
03:22It's 2-2.
03:25Zabre.
03:26Well, she did guess the correct direction.
03:30She's probably feeling confident.
03:32Sure.
03:34That's a good sign for them.
03:38Kologo is next.
03:40Ooh.
03:41Can't bear to watch.
03:44Kologo, one of the defenders.
03:47She got a yellow card in the second half of that challenge.
03:50On her tower.
03:52Kologo against Fadila Moussa.
03:58It's Kologo along the ground.
04:02Rolls it into the corner.
04:04Yeah.
04:04Completely deceives the goalkeeper.
04:06Full of confidence.
04:08Waiting for the goalkeeper to commit first.
04:10And then she calmly slots that one as well.
04:14Great going from these girls.
04:18Moussa was deceived again.
04:20Burkina Faso lead 3-2.
04:22All five in so far.
04:24Belinda Capente to take the next one.
04:30Pressure rises now as there have been no errors thus far.
04:40Capente to level it at 3-3.
04:46Against Zabra.
04:47Capente.
04:48It's another lovely penalty, Amanda.
04:51Yeah.
04:51Very impressive.
04:53These girls just really showing great composure.
04:55But Zabra as well in those goals.
04:57She's feeling a little bit confident.
04:58She's guessing the right way.
05:00She's bound to catch one.
05:01Yeah.
05:02That one she nearly did.
05:04Yeah.
05:04Yeah.
05:05Fingertips almost to it.
05:063-3.
05:08No errors so far.
05:12Penalties will determine the gold medalist.
05:15Auer is next for Burkina Faso.
05:19A forward player.
05:21Again, like the rest of her team though, didn't do much attacking
05:25with that defensive strategy in regulation time.
05:34Auer against Fadila Moussa.
05:40Here's Auer.
05:41Oh, she's fired at wide.
05:43Auer's fired at wide.
05:44It's the first error.
05:47Off target from Auer.
05:50She will be a little bit disappointed with that.
05:53Not so much of a run up towards the shot.
05:57And as she takes that shot as well, maybe a landing point.
06:00She just leans back.
06:03Ouch.
06:04It's painful.
06:05That's shootouts.
06:08Well Drago Auer with the mistake.
06:13The first mistake.
06:14Christiana Ashiaku next.
06:16The Ghana captain who's been pretty much flawless for most of the tournament.
06:25To give Ghana a big advantage.
06:28Ashiaku.
06:30Blasted in.
06:33Well taken.
06:34Yeah, well taken.
06:36A statement penalty from the captain.
06:38Lots of power.
06:39Great composure.
06:40And like you said, she's been absolutely flawless.
06:43This is the leadership that you want to see.
06:46Ghana now then with an advantage of Bikina Faso.
06:50Miss this.
06:51The Black Damsels are the champions for a second successive year.
06:564-3.
06:57Last penalty for Bikina Faso unless we go into sudden death.
07:06Goribe.
07:08Massive pressure now.
07:10On her shoulders.
07:14It's Goribe.
07:16She keeps Bikina Faso alive.
07:20Yeah.
07:20No, certainly this will be a confidence booster for Bikina Faso.
07:24It's not over just yet.
07:26Pressure penalty.
07:30Cleverly done.
07:31Yeah.
07:32Keeper was down on her knees, but now this could be the moment of glory.
07:374-4.
07:38Ghana's last penalty.
07:39Only one miss.
07:41Margaret Tawir to take it.
07:47And to give Ghana a second straight title.
07:52Is this the gold medal moment?
07:55Margaret Tawir.
07:56It's saved.
07:58It's 4-4.
08:00Yep.
08:02Yep.
08:03What a save from Zabre.
08:05Yeah.
08:05She was growing in confidence.
08:07This is the third one that she guessed right in this one.
08:10She certainly saves.
08:13Oh.
08:14Wow.
08:19The moment of glory did not transpire there.
08:22We continue.
08:23We're into sudden death.
08:25To determine the girls gold medalists.
08:30Staying alive.
08:32This is Jara.
08:35Surprised she didn't take a penalty in the first five, actually.
08:39One of their best forward players.
08:42The winger who scored yesterday to put them through to the final.
08:49Aminata Jara.
08:56Here's Aminata Jara.
09:00Bakina Faso are back in front.
09:04It's game on.
09:06It is game on.
09:07And this is what we love to see.
09:09She takes her time as she steps up.
09:11Chooses a spot.
09:13Goalkeeper with no chance.
09:14It's high and up in the top corner.
09:16And now the pressure transfers to the Black Damsels.
09:23They have to convert here to remain alive.
09:27Mavis Koa, one of the defenders, is going to take it.
09:32She did take a couple of free kicks in the game.
09:37This is a huge moment now.
09:39If she misses, Bakina Faso take the title.
09:42If she scores, we continue.
09:46Mavis Koa.
09:495-5.
09:53Are you not entertained?
09:55I think we are.
09:58Great penalty shootout from the top defender.
10:01Goalkeeper once again.
10:02Zabrik guesses the right way.
10:06Oh.
10:08After 40 minutes that didn't give us the fireworks
10:11that we were hoping for.
10:12We have got the fireworks now.
10:145-5.
10:16Sudden death it is.
10:23Pak Modga will take this one.
10:27Defender.
10:27Pak Modga.
10:29Confident.
10:32Does the exact business.
10:34Just really keeping her team up front.
10:396-5.
10:4011 of 13 penalties have gone in.
10:44Oh.
10:45What a shootout.
10:46Now.
10:48Is back to that picture.
10:50Ghana must score to stay alive.
10:54And to then force a Bakina Faso error.
10:59Jennifer Awuku.
11:01Quiet game by her standards.
11:05She must score.
11:07Otherwise, Bakina Faso are the champions.
11:09Awuku.
11:13I mean, at this level, I'm taking the notes.
11:18These girls are absolutely brilliant.
11:20Picking a spot.
11:21Showing great composure.
11:24Handling the pressure.
11:25Yep.
11:26Magnificently.
11:27It's another high one into the top corner.
11:30Awuku.
11:326-6.
11:34Still we go.
11:35Sudden death.
11:37Here in the girls' final.
11:39In Zimbabwe.
11:42Next up.
11:43Yarrow.
11:44Midfielder.
11:48We're level.
11:506-6.
11:52After a goalless draw.
11:534-4.
11:55Yarrow against Fadila Moussa.
11:59The crowd is loving this.
12:02Yarrow.
12:04Rolls it in.
12:07Goalkeeper Moussa should really try and then attempt at saving those ones.
12:11They're quite close to her, within reach.
12:14But of course, Yarrow just making sure that Bakina Faso stay in the lead.
12:20For me, if you're going to dive, at least you've got a one in three chance, kind of, haven't you?
12:24Of course.
12:25This is either going down the middle or left or right.
12:28But if you don't move, you've got a one in three chance.
12:317-6.
12:33Bakina Faso.
12:36Blessing Tete must score to keep the Black Damsels alive.
12:46Blessing Tete urged on by the crowd.
12:49Tete!
12:51These girls, as Gavin would say, have got ice in their veins, Amanda.
12:56Ice in their veins, certainly.
12:58I mean, you spoke about pressure.
13:00They're handling it so well.
13:01Of course, sudden death for me is usually one of those penalty kicks where you were hoping not to step
13:07up for a penalty.
13:08See, now it's your time, but look at them.
13:10Great composure indeed.
13:12Eight players on each side have taken penalties.
13:14Will be down to the keepers soon.
13:17Belem, the captain, is next up.
13:28What a spectacle!
13:33Belem, the Birkinaba captain.
13:35It is Belem.
13:37Keeper doesn't move again.
13:41Goalkeeper Musa should really get into this penalty shootout and maybe build a little bit of confidence.
13:46The ones down in the middle, she should really try and attempt those, but Captain Fantastic once again keeps the
13:52team in front.
13:538-7.
13:54Pressure back on Garner.
13:57Once again, that equation, they must score to stay alive.
14:02Benny takes this one.
14:05Jessica Benny.
14:09The pressure is immense now.
14:128-7.
14:15Jessica Benny, the whistle is gone.
14:18Must score.
14:19It's Benny!
14:24These girls have got composure.
14:26Good composure.
14:27Those are one of the most risky penalties for the penalty taker.
14:31You could easily miss those ones, but very difficult for the goalkeeper to save.
14:35So each side has now had nine penalty takers.
14:38Eight of them have scored.
14:40Only one has missed on either side.
14:42Goalkeepers have not taken yet.
14:45And certainly beginner Faso are going to go for an outfield player.
14:49Guy Gan, defender.
14:52I wonder how much they would have been practicing these, Amanda.
14:55Yeah, I hope so, because certainly they have executed all these penalties very well.
15:03Tenth in the pecking order to take another crucial penalty.
15:07Guy Gan.
15:10It's Guy Gan.
15:12It's saved!
15:14Moussa!
15:15Moussa!
15:18Moussa!
15:44Moussa!
15:51Moussa!
