Ghana secure narrow win over Nicaragua in friendly

Black Stars managed to dominate their game against Nicaragua on Tuesday evening to bring smiles on the face of Ghanaians.

Victory went to the Black Stars as they netted a goal to bring Nicaragua down to their knees.

A curled effort from Fatawu Issahaku in the 35th minute found the back of the net to give Ghana the lead at the end of the first-half.

After the recess, the Black Stars kept pushing for a second goal as Mohammed Kudus was denied twice by the offside flag after putting the ball into the net.

The Black Stars were presented with several opportunities to increase their lead but were unable to take advantage of them.

Prior to this friendly, Ghana faced Brazil last Friday and it was a nightmare for the West African team as they were crippled by three goals to nil.

Meanwhile, Ghana will face Switzerland in November just before their first group game against Portugal in the World Cup.
