Ghana’s U20 female team, the Black Princesses were held to a thrilling
2-2 draw by their South Korean counterparts in their final warm-up game
ahead of the FIFA U20 World Cup in Colombia.

The Black Princesses, who are making a seventh successive appearance at
the global stage, rounded up preparation with the Asian country at the
Centro Deportivo Choquenza.

South Korea opened the scoring early in the game from the spot but
Stella Nyamekye responded with a clinical finish before half-time.

After the break, the West Africans took the lead through Jennifer
Owusuaa following a dominant spell by the Black Princesses.

However, South Korea pulled parity with 19 minutes remaining from
another spot-kick.

The exercise is expected to help the two teams prepare for the upcoming
challenge at the FIFA U20 World Cup, which begins on August 31, 2024.

The Black Princesses have been drawn in Group E alongside Austria,
former champions Japan and New Zealand.

Ghana will begin the tournament with a clash against the Europeans on
September 2.
