Black Queens Coach Reacts to Semifinal Defeat
Despite not making it to the final, Black Queens coach Kim Lars Björkegren thinks his team beat Morocco in their WAFCON 2025 semifinal match.
Ghana lost against the host country on penalties, narrowly missing out on the final.
Björkegren lamented the lost chance while expressing pride in his team’s performance during the press conference held after the game.
“I think we were the better team if you look at stats from the game,” he said.
While Ghana’s campaign ends in disappointment, their display against a strong Moroccan side earned praise for tactical discipline and resilience.
Ghana took a first half lead through Stella Nyamekye but the Moroccans found an equalizer in the second as the game travelled all the way into penalty shootout.
The Black Queens missed two out of their four penalties while Morocco scored all four to progress into the final.
