Ghana on Tuesday, September 27, 2022, outplayed and defeated Nicaragua 1-0 in a friendly match the Black Stars were tipped to run riot over the opponent.
The national team of the West African country today locked horns with the Central American national team in a game played at the Estadio Francisco Artes Carrasco.
The game is the second match played by Ghana in the September international break.
Serving as a preparatory match for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Ghana head coach Otto Addo used the opportunity to try new players and tactics.
In a game massively dominated by the Black Stars, the team had the lead at the end of the first half.
It was all thanks to a thunderbolt strike from teenager Abdul Fatawu Issahaku which went into the back of the net after a deflection.
After recess, the Ghana team played very well and created several other chances in a bid to score more goals.
Unfortunately, the efforts of the team could not result in a goal. Eventually, the Ghana national team secured just a narrow 1-0 win at the end of the 90 minutes.
After today’s friendly, Ghana will take on Switzerland in November before the 2022 FIFA World Cup starts in Qatar.
