Ghana needed penalties to beat South Africa in the third-place playoff at the ongoing Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.

This was a rematch of their group stage fixture, where Bayana Bayana ran out 2-0 winners.

But the game to decide the bronze winners between the two teams ended 1-1 after 90 minutes.

Nonhlanhla Mthandi pounced on a defensive error to roll the ball into an empty net before the break.

But the Black Queens equalized in the second half through an own goal by South African goalkeeper Andile Dlamini.

There was no extra time in the third-place match, as the game went straight to penalties.

Ghana won after S. Holweni and H. Magaia failed to convert their spot-kicks.
