Black Queens beat Senegal 3-0 in friendly match

The Black Queens scored as early as the first minute when Gifty Assifuah scored a scrappy goal from a rebound from Evelyn Badu.

Seven minutes later, Grace Asantewaa scored a solo goal to double the lead for the Black Queens.

Gifty Assifuah got her brace in the game in added time of the first half to make it three goals for the Black Queens.
