The Black Queens lost narrowly (1-0) to the Atlas Lioness of Morocco in an international friendly in Casablanca on Friday.
The Queens created some decent chances in the opening minutes but were denied by goalkeeper Fatima Ezzahra. Doris Boaduwaa‘s second-minute effort went wide, while Sherifa Sumaila’s cross was collected by Fatima.
Morocco’s pressure yielded results in extra time when Saoud Imane scored the match winner, slotting home a loose ball in defense. This match serves as a test drive for Coach Kim Lars Björkegren as he prepares the team for the upcoming TotalEnergies Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in July.
The Black Queens will round up their nine-day training tour in Morocco with another game against Raja Athletic on Monday, February 24, 2025.
