Black Princesses of Ghana are technically out of the ongoing FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup after suffering a 4:0 defeat to the Netherlands in their second group game.
Netherlands moved to within touching distance of the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup France 2018 quarter-finals after earning a 4-0 win over Ghana to maintain their 100 per cent start in Group A.
While the West Africans started brightly, it didn’t take long for the Netherlands to get into gear. Two spurned chances could have rocked their confidence, but they didn’t have to dwell on them long, going ahead on 21 minutes.
Three goals in 11 minutes put them in complete control, with Aniek Nouwen’s downward header at the back post getting the debutants rolling on the back of their slender win over New Zealand.
Having netted in their opener, Fenna Kalma made no mistake when put through by the Victoria Pelova, before converting with superbly taken volley to see her move joint-top of the scoring charts.
The pace dropped after the break, with the Netherlands sitting comfortably, but Pelova and Kalma switched rolls as the duo exchanged passes before the former stroked home to add some gloss to the Oranje's victory. Ghana need a favour from New Zealand against hosts France to keep their hopes of progression alive.

Totally shame,maybe they will rather go with those who payed..and left those who can play better that is Ghana for you!! We are always capable of those things,very sad and disturbing.
Whoever sent an untrained, unrepresented team to this tourney for the nation to be humiliated like this should be made to answer some questions and jailed for causing financial loss and gross embarrassment to the state. Obviously they were aware their participation was going to be a fiasco but they still sent the girls there so somebody could get some money.Bad planning and thinking. Shame on all involved for not putting the nation first. ***barred word*** venture. FIFA would have undestood had the nation withdrawn. What selfishness? These ladies could not even run. It was clear they lacked training. We saw it in their game against France and it was evident in their game against Netherlands. What is this waste for when the nation is bleeding financially?
