FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup
Having opened their campaign with a 1-1 draw against France, Korea Republic will now need a positive result in their final group match against Ecuador on Saturday to boost their hopes of reaching the Round of 16.
The East Asian side held firm in the opening half but were undone by a devastating three-minute spell after the break as Ghana took control of the contest.
Captain Sarah Nyarko broke the deadlock with a neat finish in the 52nd minute before Ivy Osei Owusu doubled Ghana’s advantage three minutes later with a deflected effort from the edge of the area.
Korea Republic continued to push for a way back into the game but substitute Ruth Amponsah added Ghana’s third with another deflected strike in the 84th minute.
Beom Ye-ju gave Korea Republic late hope with a superb long-range effort in the fifth minute of stoppage time but there was to be no further response as Ghana secured the points.
