Ghana Edge Pass Nicaragua By A Loan Goal In Friendly

Ghana has defeated Nicaragua 0-1 in a friendly encounter at the Estadio Francisco Artes Carrasco in Spain on Friday. 

Fatawu Issahaku got the breakthrough in the first half which proved to be the winner after 90 minutes. 

There was a scramble in the penalty box and the ball found its way to the Sporting CP attacker just outside the box, who dropped a shoulder and curled home albeit a slight deflection. 

Otto Addo changed almost the entire first eleven that lost 3-0 to Brazil on Friday, giving starting berth to Inaki Williams, Mohammed Salisu, Fatawu Issahaku et al. Only Kudus Mohammed, Daniel Amartey and Idrissu Baba kept their places. Richard Ofori replaced Wollacott in goal. 

The Black Stars took complete control of the game, dominating possession and nullifying any threat from Nicaragua throughout the entire game  — they could have scored more but lacked composure and cutting-edge in front of goal. 

Ghana will square off with Switzerland in November before kicking off their 2022 FIFA World Cup against Portugal.
