Following a number of changes at the hour mark, Ghana regained control of the game and continued to dominate.

In the 69th minute, Mohammed Salisu scored his first Ghana goal to give the Black Stars a deserved lead.

Five minutes later, Bristol City attacker Antoine Semenyo pounced on a loose ball in the six-yard box of the Swiss and fired a shot from close range that found the back of the net.

Eventually, the Black Stars cruised to a 2-0 win to wrap up their training camp in Abu Dhabi in style.

The Black Stars will now prepare to fly out to Qatar to prepare for the start of the 2022 FIFA World Cup on Sunday, November 20.
