Black Queens hold Egypt away in Olympic Games qualifier
Ghana’s senior women's team, the Black Queens,
fought out a 1-1 draw with Egypt in their search
for a ticket to the 2016 Olympic Games.

Ghana played away from home in the first leg of
the second round of the qualifiers at the Petro
Sports Club Stadium in Cairo on Saturday.

It was the Black Queens who conceded a goal in the
first half before rallying back to pull level
through winger Portia Boakye.

The Yusif Basigi-coached side, tagged favourites
for this tie, return home with an important away
goal for the second leg scheduled for the Accra
Stadium next weekend.

Should Ghana, who are chasing their first Olympic
Games appearance, go on to eliminate Egypt, they
will set up an all-important clash against either
Guinea Bissau or Cameroon at the third and final
round of the qualifiers.

Two teams will qualify to represent Africa at the
2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

Black Queens Starting XI:
Patricia Mantey - Hillia Koblah, Rosemary Ampem,
Cynthia Adobea, Janet Egyir - Juliet Acheampong,
Mercy Myles, Elizabeth Addo, Portia Boakye - Jane
Ayieyam, Faiza Ibrahim
