Ghana defender Josephine Bonsu has been named Player of the Match (PoTM) after an impressive performance in the Black Queens' 2-0 victory over Cape Verde in their opening Group C fixture at the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON).
The full-back was instrumental in Ghana's win, marshalling the defence with composure while making a series of important interceptions and winning crucial duels to help secure a clean sheet.
On the matchday, Goals from Doris Boaduwaa and a Cape Verde own goal sealed all three points for the Black Queens.
Bonsu's assured performance frustrated Cape Verde's attacking efforts throughout the contest, providing the platform for Ghana to control the match and begin their campaign on a positive note.
Her defensive discipline and smart thinking proved vital as the Black Queens successfully protected their advantage and limited their opponents to few clear-cut opportunities.
The victory gives Ghana an ideal start to their Group D campaign as they continue their quest for continental success.
After the win against Cape Verde, Ghana will now prepare for a tough clash against Cameroon.
