Ghana�s campaign at the FIFA Under-20 Women�s World Cup finals in Japan ended on Thursday after a 1-0 defeat to Germany in their second Group match.
Germany needed an injury-time winner from substitute Lina Magull to subdue the Black Princesses.
Germany had the better of the contest but the Africans battled hard throughout, only for Magull to profit from a perfect Dzsenifer Marozsan pass and score the all-important goal just eight minutes after entering the fray.
Germany restricted the hard-working Ghana side to few openings, while at the other end the reigning champions came close on several occasions.
Ghana made three changes to the side which were beaten 4-0 by USA in the opener, and it was a much-improved performance from the Princesses.
A Luisa Wensing header forced a great save from Ghana goalkeeper Patricia Mantey early on, while at the other end, Florence Dadson�s effort required an equally impressive stop from Germany custodian Laura Benkarth.
The Black Princesses will play their final Group D match against China next Monday.
