After defeating its Nigerian rivals, the Flamingos, in the final on Sunday, the Black Maidens became the first-ever winners of the WAFU Zone B U-17 Girls' Cup.

After barely 14 minutes of play, Gertrude Amoafo broke the host's impasse.

In five minutes, Priscilla Mensah of the Black Maidens doubled the lead.

But before the break, the Nigerians made sure to cut this gap in half.
