Ghana beat Argentina on penalties to reach FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup quarter-finals

The Black Maidens maintained their composure to convert all five penalties to beat Argentina 5-4 in a Round of 16 clash of the 2026 FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup on Wednesday. 

The Maidens had played a 1-1 draw in full regulation time after Jessica Appiah Asamoah’s first-half strike was cancelled in the 86th minute by the South Americans.

The Ghanaians defended with 10 players to force the match into straight penalties.

Ghana converted all kicks as Argentina missed their second to win 5-4.

The Maidens, therefore, reach the last 8 for the first time in eight years.

They will take on the winner of the Japan-Kenya clash.
