France celebrate while a Ghanaian player goes down on her knees in disappointment
The Black Princesses are on the verge of elimination at the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup finals after conceded late to draw 2-2 with France in their second Group C match on Thursday.
Clara Mateo snatched the equalizer in injury time with a blistering header to steal a point for the European side.
France took the lead on 38 minutes when through Delphine Cascarino but Sandra Owusu Ansah finished off a through pass in the 44th minute.
Striker Janet Ayieyam gave the Princesses the lead after 65 minutes when she put in her foot to toe-poke into the net after some lack defending by France in front of their area.
Ghana could have made it 3-1 but Samira AbdulRahman failed to convert a penalty when she feebly shot into the path of Mylene Chavas who parried away.
But France did not give up and kept on piling pressure until a decent cross was met by Mateo in the air and zoomed into the net.
