From the first whistle, Ghana looked the more threatening side. They probed Egypt’s back-line repeatedly, created overlaps down the flanks, and forced a number of corners and free kicks.
But despite the dominance in possession and the wave after wave of pressure, the Black Queens could not find the net.
Shots went just wide, headers were saved, and the final pass often lacked the precision needed to unlock the Egyptian defence.
The staunch resistance of the visitors, coupled with Ghana’s own inability to finish the promising moves meant the half ended at 0-0, a frustrating but not disastrous outcome given the cushion from the first leg.
The floodgates opened early in the second half. Just minutes after the restart, forward Doris Boaduwaa pounced on a loose ball after the Egyptian goalkeeping failed to deal with a lofted pass. Buoyed by the breakthrough, the Black Queens pressed on, and Boaduwaa doubled her tally shortly afterwards. This time finishing off a lovely low cross from Princess Marfo.
Then came the third. A well-weighted cross-cum-shot from winger Comfort Yeboah curled in at pace, nestled into the corner and made it 3-0 in convincing fashion.
With the job all but done, Ghana relaxed into the rhythm of the evening. In the late stages, substitute Stella Nyamekye laid off a neat cut back to Boaduwaa, who calmly fired low past the keeper to complete her hat-trick and wrap up a 4-0 victory.
The emphatic aggregate victory (7-0) sends the Black Queens back to the WAFCON stage with authority.
Their last appearance saw them finish third in the 2025 edition. This qualification comes at a critical time as the top four teams in the 2026 WAFCON, to be hosted in Morocco, will also qualify for the upcoming Women’s World Cup in Brazil.
