The Black Queens suffered defeat in their final friendly on the Abidjan tour on Tuesday evening.
Kim Lars Bjorkegren’s side were undone by a second half time by their hosts as they lost 1-0 at the end of the game.
Ghana came into the fixture hoping to take a win in the game having thrown away a two-goal lead in the first encounter to draw 3-3 last week.
The Swede boss made two changes to the starting lineup with Jennifer Cudjoe and Alice Kusi all coming into the team.
The Black Queens enjoyed a good spell of possession in the opening minutes of the game before the Ivorians took command thereafter.
Les Elephants took the game to the Ghanaians as they possessed and threatened every time they surged forward.
Goalkeeper Cynthia Konlan came to the rescue of the team several occasions in the game.
However, she was unable to stop Habibou Ouedraogo’s strike in the 56th minute as Ghana conceded their fourth goal in two games against Côte d’Ivoire.
The Black Queens were unable to get back on level terms as the Ivorians picked up the win.
The result leaves Ghana with just one win in their last five games under Bjorkegren, scoring four and conceding six goals in that run.
The game was part of the team’s preparations for the delayed 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations tournament to be staged in Morocco next month.
