Ghana’s Black Stars defeated Switzerland on Thursday in a pre-World Cup match.
At the Zayad Sports facility in Abu Dhabi, Ghana finished their pre-World Cup friendly with a 2-0 victory thanks to goals from Mohammed Salisu and Antione Semenyo.
After a scoreless first half, Otto Addo’s team scored both goals in the second half in a span of four minutes.
After a few bounces inside the area, Southampton’s Mohammed Salisu scored the game’s first goal from a corner in the 70th minute.
His first goal for the Black Stars was this one.
Four minutes later, replacement Antoine Semenyo scored his first goal by happily firing the ball low into the centre of the net after getting to the rebound inside the area.
The goal doubled Ghana’s advantage.
At the Zayad Sports facility in Abu Dhabi, the Black Stars maintained their 2-0 lead to win.
Ghana played against Switzerland in their third pre-World Cup friendly after losing to Brazil 3-0 and Nicaragua 1-0 in September.
The sides were able to evaluate their strengths ahead of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 finals in Doha thanks to the match.
The focus of the Black Stars will now shift to the Qatar World Cup.
