Six minutes later Boakye made it two after interceptinf a ball from Rania Aouina before releasing a sweet shot from 25 yards to record Ghana’s second goal.
The first half ended two nil.
Tunisia showed some well rehearsed tactics but never yielded any result till Priscilla Adobea made it three with a solo effort on the 75h minute. Adobea dribbled through several legs before cooly registering Ghana’s third.
Forward Samira Suleiman returned on the score sheet with her brace seven minutes from time as she banged home Ghana’s 4th goal from a sweet volley at the Accra Sports Stadium.
