Ghana W rolls past Mauritius W with seven-goal display
ACCRA (Interstat) — Ghana W scored seven unanswered goals and defeated Mauritius W 7-0 on Tuesday in a global football match that kept the home side perfect in the competition and left the visiting team still seeking its first victory of the season. The home team struck early and maintained control throughout, producing goals in both halves and finishing with a lopsided win. Mauritius W could not answer at any point, and its record in the competition and across all competitions remained without a win.
Ghana W opened the scoring in the 10th minute when Evelyn Badu found the net. The home side doubled its advantage in the 27th minute through Portia Boakye. Ajegipina Zakaria made it 3-0 in the 32nd minute, giving Ghana W a comfortable lead before halftime. The first-half goals came as Ghana W controlled possession and repeatedly broke through Mauritius W’s defensive shape. Mauritius W, which had lost 3-0 to Ghana W in the previous meeting this season, could not generate a response before the break. The visiting side struggled to keep the ball for extended stretches and was forced to defend for much of the opening period.
After halftime, Ghana W continued to press. Mukurama Abdulai scored in the 74th minute, extending the lead to 4-0. Nancy Amoh added another goal in the 89th minute. Jennifer Cudjoe completed the scoring in the third minute of stoppage time, capping a performance in which six different Ghana W players recorded a goal. Badu, Boakye, Zakaria, Abdulai, Cudjoe and Amoh each finished with one goal while playing the full 90 minutes. Their contributions reflected a balanced attack rather than reliance on a single scorer. Ghana W kept pushing even after the match was decided, and the late goals underlined the home side’s dominance.
Mauritius W could not find a goal at any stage. The visiting side finished with zero goals and remained winless in the competition. Ghana W, meanwhile, moved to 2-0 in the competition and 2-0 across all competitions. Mauritius W fell to 0-2 in the competition and 0-2 across all competitions. The result followed Ghana W’s 3-0 win at Mauritius W earlier this season, the most recent head-to-head meeting between the teams before the match. That earlier result had also ended without a Mauritius W goal, and the rematch followed a similar pattern.
Ghana W’s defense did not face many anxious moments, and the home team’s midfield kept Mauritius W from building sustained attacks. The seven-goal margin matched the dominant run of play, with Ghana W scoring in the opening 10 minutes, adding two more before the 35-minute mark, and then closing the match with three second-half goals. Mauritius W, by contrast, was limited to occasional counters and could not convert any of its chances. The visitors rarely tested Ghana W’s goalkeeper and spent long periods chasing the game.
The match was part of a broader schedule for both teams, and the records now show a clear split. Ghana W has won both of its competition matches this season and both of its matches across all competitions. Mauritius W has lost both of its competition matches this season and both of its matches across all competitions. The previous result between the sides, a 3-0 Ghana W victory, remains the most recent head-to-head game before this meeting. Ghana W has now scored 10 goals across the two meetings this season while Mauritius W has scored none.
Interstat’s game simulator had projected a final score of Ghana W 13, Mauritius W 0. Interstat’s ELO system had projected Ghana W with a 72.9 percent probability to win. Those projections were released before the match and placed Ghana W as the heavy favorite. The actual result saw Ghana W win by seven goals, with the scoring spread among Badu, Boakye, Zakaria, Abdulai, Amoh and Cudjoe. Mauritius W will continue looking for its first win of the season, while Ghana W will try to build on a perfect start in its next competition match.
