WAFCON 2026: Ngah Manga Penalty Fires Cameroon Past Ghana Into Quarter-Finals

Mega IconAugust 2, 20261 Mins read8 Views

Cameroon’s Indomitable Lionesses secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Ghana at the Moulay Rachid Stadium in Casablanca.

In-form striker Marie Gisèle Ngah Manga proved to be the difference-maker yet again, converting a clinical 19th-minute penalty after a Video Assistant Referee (VAR) review.

The decisive spot-kick marks Ngah Manga’s third consecutive goal of the tournament, accounting for all of Cameroon’s scoring output in Morocco so far.

The defeat breaks the Black Queens’ perfect start to their continental campaign.

Despite throwing numbers forward in the second half, Nora Häuptle’s side could not breach Cameroon’s incredibly disciplined defensive block.

With Mali defeating Cape Verde 3-2 in the other group fixture, Group D remains highly competitive heading into the final matchday.
