WAFCON: I Bargained With God, Now I Owe Him; Black Queens Captain After Trashing Tanzania

The Captain of the Black Queens, Portia Boakye, feels obligated to fulfil her part of a bargain with God after He honoured his part.

A video of the experienced attacker jubilating and reflecting on her side of the deal after their game against Tanzania went viral on Tuesday.

She was captured saying, “I owe God. I bargained with God. I owe God.”

The Black Queens recorded their first victory in the TotalEnergies Women’s Africa Cup of Nations after losing their first game and drawing in their second.

They cruised into the quarterfinals on Monday after a thrilling 4-1 victory over Tanzania in their final Group C match.

The team got off to a flying start, with experienced forward Princella Adubea scoring after just 12 minutes when she deflected a clearance from the Tanzania goalkeeper into the net.

Despite missing several chances, the Black Queens held their ground until Tanzania drew level in the 40th minute. However, Alice Kusi’s penalty kick, followed by goals from Evelyn Badu and Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah, sealed a convincing 4-1 win for Ghana.

The result saw coach Kim Björkegren’s side finish second in Group C with four points, behind South Africa, who topped the group with seven points.
