Ghana vs Nicaragua

A 34th minute volley converted by Abdul Fatawu Issahaku gave Ghana a lone goal victory over Nicaragua in their international friendly encounter played at Lorca ...

Both teams introduced some fresh limbs in the dying minutes but it was Ghana who continued to show promise by creating scoring chances in the 79th and 89th minutes only for Kudus to miss the target narrowly. In their quest to level up, Nicaragua started using open spaces in their swift counter attacks but lacked the finesse to break down the solid Stars defence. It was a match Ghana dominated and created numerous scoring chances in both halves but failed to convert them.
