That's it! Er-Rmichi saves it! Comfort Yeboah sends a powerful shot straight into the center of the goal, the goalkeeper manages to stay alert and doesn't dive, thus managing to save the ball and pass it to her team.

Thanks for joining us!

Goal, goal, goal, goal for Morocco! One more to the count, now it's Anissa Lahmari who shoots from the eleven steps, the player manages to score the fourth with great definition.   

She missed! What an ugly shot! It's a very cross shot that Evelyn Badu takes. The player ends up sending that line wide of the goal. She didn't look confident and ended up reflecting it in her shot.

Goal, goal, goal, goal for Morocco! Chapelle keeps her team in the fight. What a shot! Despite being guessed, she couldn't reach the ball and scores the third. What a great game.   

Goal, goal, goal, goal for Ghana! Alice Kusi doesn't miss, the player takes a formidable shot, a great shot straight at goal that the goalkeeper can't save. What a great shot she takes.   

Goal, goal, goal, goal for Morocco! It's Jraïdi who scores the second of the shootout. They momentarily have the lead against an opponent who's struggling in this fight.     

Goal, goal, goal, goal for Ghana! Bonsu ties the score. The player angled up, shot powerfully, and despite the goalkeeper's guess and diving to the right, she couldn't prevent the goal from falling.

Goal, goal, goal, goal for Morocco! Hanane Ait El Haj prepares, fires a powerful shot high to the left, the ball goes in without a hitch, and the first goal of the match is scored.     

The game's over! The second period of extra time has come to an end. Despite attempts by Ghana and Morocco, they failed to generate the necessary threat to go for the second goal. The second semifinal goes to penalties.

What a terrible thing! Sumaila was looking to send a cross into the box for a second for Ghana, but when he tried to shoot, it went over the goal without creating anything.        

There will be one player missing for Morocco, what a complicated situation. Fatima Tagnaout is injured after being brought down in the match and leaves the field on a stretcher. Chapelle comes on and will look to contribute to the front line.

Sarah Kassi managed to prevent Ghana from going for the second goal of the match from succeeding. What a complex match, with very few chances and a very tight game, full of fouls.    

This start was very tight, with both teams trying to hold onto the ball for as long as possible, with both Er-Rmichi and Konlan looking for ways to send the rest of the team forward to go for the goal.

The ball is rolling and the final 15 minutes of the match are underway. Both teams will be looking for a goal, hoping to avoid a penalty shootout, which would determine which team advances to the final phase of the match.

The first half of extra time is coming to an end. Both teams orchestrated interesting plays, but they couldn't create any damage in the opponent's goal. They need to generate more ideas and be more creative if they want to avoid penalties.

Two more substitutions for Morocco. What a game these changes are going to be. Mrabet and Chebbak come off the pitch after giving their all and a great performance, and Kassi and Lahmari come on looking for more.

The game continues, and player Princella stands up. Ghana also makes a change. Boye-Hlorkah comes off the pitch, and Sumaila takes her place to search for the needed goal. They are now focused on the front line.

It can't be! The assists come in. Princella is in serious pain after a blow from Er-Rabbah as she tries to break into the box for the second goal. The match is stopped and the player is treated.

What a mess! So many offside positions, Alice was waiting for the ball inside the box, looking to cause damage, but the referee ruled it out for offside. What a fiasco! That's two plays that ended up not counting.

Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah was dangerously approaching Er-Rmichi's goal in search of a great cross, but the referee ended up ruling out the play as there was an offside, which rendered the play invalid.

The first extra time of this match begins, with Morocco making two substitutions in search of the much-needed goal. Ouzraoui and Mssoudy are removed from the game after causing considerable fatigue, and Saoud and Tagnaout are substituted.

Overtime! The game couldn't be decided in regulation. Despite both teams' attempts, neither team could break the tie, and they'll be looking to win it in extra time. What a close call this is coming up.

The two teams are fairly close, with neither Benzina nor Er-Rmichi having much to do in this final stretch; everything has been left to the rest of the players who keep avoiding shots on goal.  

There's time! Everything points to extra time, but there are still five minutes left to search for the tiebreaker. What a heart-stopping finish this is playing out. Despite their efforts, they can't find the formula.

There's a change for Ghana, another move is coming. Stella Nyamekye, the scorer of Ghana's only goal, is leaving the match. Evelyn Badu is replacing her, a huge effort for the player.   

Duah made a good save, correctly anticipating Jraïdi's shot, preventing it from reaching the goal. Little by little, time is running out and opportunities are drying up; they need a goal.  

Chantelle Boye-Hlorkah prevents the play from continuing on its way to Konlan's goal, and the player ends up receiving a yellow card. She will have to be careful in these final minutes if she doesn't want to receive another caution.

Let the game continue! Despite several seconds of reviewing the plays, it was determined that there was no foul, and the referee signaled for the play to continue with a goal kick. What a complex duel.

VAR! The referee will review a possible penalty awarded by Bonsu on Mssoudy. It was the former who ended up knocking down the latter with a slap, who ended up falling on the pitch. The play is being reviewed, but everything points to a penalty.

It's a back-and-forth affair without any danger, both teams gradually pushing forward, but no damage is done, very little excitement is generated, and the forwards have achieved little or nothing.

Ghana makes a change, as the visiting team looks for a way to create danger up front. It's Boaduwaa who comes off the pitch, a heavy loss for the visitors, while Princessla Adubea comes on looking to make more impact.

Little by little, Ghana is recovering its momentum, creating interesting plays and moving forward in search of the goal they need to advance to the grand final, but Morocco's defense is holding up well.

Chebbak and Mssoudy look to create danger, reach the end line and send crosses, but the ball doesn't reach the area dangerously. The defense intervenes appropriately to prevent any setbacks.   

Benzina and company are looking for a way to generate damage in the opponent's half. Little by little, they've managed to continue to make dangerous inroads into the offensive zone, but they're still failing to finish in the right direction.

Two changes were made to the match for Ghana, who are looking to break the deadlock. Alice Kusi is substituted, looking for the right way to advance to score more goals. Princess Marfo is removed from the match.

Goal, goal, goal, goal for Morocco! Great play by the home side. It's a good cross into the box, where Ouzraoui makes his presence felt. The player manages to shoot the ball in without any problem, but despite the goalkeeper's intervention, she is unable to prevent the goal.

Ghana continues to dominate the match, while Morocco has failed to establish itself on the field to generate interesting plays that could tie the score and increase its lead for the home side.   

There's no excitement in these first minutes. Morocco looks to cause damage in the opponent's half, but there are no alternative ideas to break through the defensive lines. Little by little, they try to create danger.

The second half begins, with the same 22 players taking to the field. After settling down and reorganizing, both teams are expected to look for more goals and go all out for that victory in the second half.

Halftime! The first half is coming to an end. Despite starting the match with possession, the game ended in Ghana's favor, who now win by a margin of 1. Morocco will look to reorganize and find a way to create danger in the second half.

She wants more! Nyamekye was the one who was getting into the danger zone, but the player couldn't control the ball and went over the end line. It was Mssoudy who was protecting the play and managed to stop it from getting bigger.

Morocco failed to generate any danger. It was a ball into the home side's box, but no one appeared in the box and they ended up losing the ball. A good defensive performance thwarted all attacks.

It was close! Ghana made a great start, losing control in the lower zone. It was Boaduwaa who managed to shoot towards Er-Rmichi's area, but when it came to hitting the ball, it ended up going wide.

Few emotions have materialized in these minutes. Both teams have looked for ways to cause damage, but it has been Ghana who has had the best aim. Little by little, the plays have grown, but there is no way for the ball to go in.

Ghana continues to look to generate forward, but neither Boaduwaa nor Marfo are able to finish the ball. Little by little, they are moving forward with greater intensity, looking to generate more damage, but the defense is already pushing that ball away.

Morocco is looking to create damage in the opponent's half. Mssoudy is looking to create some damage in that area. They need more intelligence up front to score goals. They need the equalizer to stay in the fight.

Goal, goal, goal, goal for Ghana! It's a corner kick that provides this great play, it's in the air that Nyamekye manages to get up inside the area and sends the ball into the back of the net with a powerful header, what a great goal.

Sanaa and Ozraoui look for ways to get forward, but Ghana doesn't let them break through that defensive line. Despite their attempts to go for the first goal of the match, they have achieved nothing. These minutes are very closed and there are very few emotions.

Neither team has caused any damage up front, despite their attempts, there is nothing up front, the defenses remain quite active against the forwards who are unable to get through.      

Many clashes in this match, now it was Redouani's turn who ended up colliding with Nyamekye, it was the Moroccan who ended up crashing while going for the ball, many similar situations have arisen.

That's it! Khadija appeared, a great save from the goalkeeper who managed to prevent Princess's shot from reaching her goal and scoring the first goal of the match. The player was very attentive, following every play.

Morocco is beginning to generate pressure up front, but hasn't found the space to help it reach the opponent's goal with any danger. They have been able to orchestrate very little up front without managing to get on target.

Neither Jraïdi nor Boaduwaa have managed to generate interesting plays for either team, both squads looking for ways to get forward, however they have not been able to orchestrate any dangerous plays.

Little by little, the teams are beginning to build plays. Despite the attempts of both teams, neither has managed to generate any danger up front; they have not managed to reach the opponent's goal, nor can they break through the defensive line.

It's game on! The ball is moving around this pitch, both teams are hungry to go for goals and build up some good moments up front. What a match it will be, full of emotions and a lot of football.

Kim Björkegren spoke to the press before this match: “The way of thinking in tournaments like this is a little different. You have to be there every day mentally, tactically, and physically. But the positive thing is how quickly you see the development. I think we're a better team now than we were a month or two ago.”
“I believe in my players. I've seen them make leaps and bounds in just a couple of weeks. This group has gotten stronger with every game.”
“My first game as a manager was against Liverpool. It was a close game, we lost in the last minute, but even then, I saw potential.”
“I study everything. I observe the patterns, the pairings. I like to feel in control, even if I'm not the one on the pitch. That's where the planning with my coaching staff comes in.”
"Of course, a packed stadium with 21,000 fans can be intimidating, but it can also be the other way around. If we stay calm and focused, we can silence that crowd."

Jorge Vilda spoke ahead of this exciting match: "Match after match, the players have managed to handle the pressure and turn it into positive energy."
"The players put in a considerable effort during the group stage, especially when facing physically strong opponents."
"Individual awards don't matter; the important thing is to help the team win and reach the final."
"We will fight for our chances, although it will be a difficult match against Morocco."
