She created the equalising goal late in the game, according to Prekeh Media – LINK.
Ghana were trailing 3-2 in the 85th minute and faced a second straight defeat after losing their opening match to Norway. Appiah Asamoah picked up the ball in midfield, beat two markers and played a defence-splitting pass to Priscilla Mensah, who tapped home the equaliser.
Rafia Osman and Gloria Ameaa also scored for Ghana, while Mensah’s late strike earned the point.
Appiah Asamoah troubled the Brazilian defence throughout the match with her vision, energy and creativity. Her display included dribbles, tackles and intelligent play.
Her statistics from the game were one assist, which was the equalising goal, and four chances created, the most in the match. She also won seven duels and completed three successful dribbles.
Ghana now face Canada in their final Group C match. They need a victory to keep their qualification hopes alive.
