Maidens Face Mexico In Quarters

Black Maidens

Ghana will face Mexico in the quarter-finals of the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup this Sunday in Montevideo.

The Black Maidens topped Group A on Tuesday after beating New Zealand 2-0 in the final match.

They scored ten goals and conceded just one; making Augustine Adotey’s side firm favourites for the title.

Ghana have qualified for the last eight for the fourth consecutive time with their best performance in the tournament history in 2012 when they finished in third place.

As Group A runners-up, New Zealand will take on Japan in Colonia Del Sacramento on November 24.

The Kiwis will be competing in the knockout stage of U-17 Women’s World Cup for the first time.
