Cameroon beats Ghana 1-0 to become team to reach WAFCON 2026 quarter-finals
Cameroon secured a 1-0 victory over Ghana in Casablanca on Monday, with Marie Ngah Manga scoring her third goal of the tournament. The win puts the Indomitable Lionesses on six points, securing top spot in Group D and a place in the quarter‑finals of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations. In the other Group D match, Mali edged Cape Verde 3‑2, eliminating the Cape Verdeans from the competition. As a result, Ghana’s final group match against Mali on Thursday will be a straight shoot‑out for second place; a draw would be enough for the Black Queens thanks to their superior goal difference heading into that winner‑takes‑all game. Cameroon will now wait to learn their quarter‑final opponent from the other groups. If you’re following Ghana’s campaign, consider whether a draw against Mali is enough to keep their hopes alive or if a win is needed to guarantee advancement. Keep an eye on the quarter‑final draw later this week to see which team Cameroon will face.
