Ghana’s Black Stars shine bright as they beat Switzerland 2-0 in final pre-World Cup friendly

The Black Stars of Ghana outplayed and scored two goals on Thursday morning in the friendly match against Switzerland.

The Ghana national team as part of preparations for the 2022 FIFA World Cup engaged the Swiss in a pre-world cup friendly match today in Abu Dhabi.

In a game played at the Zayed Sports City Stadium, there were lots of action in the first half as Ghana dominated play.

Unfortunately, the team failed to convert the chances that were created and had to settle for a draw at the break.

In the second half, Switzerland had a brighter start and caused a lot of trouble for the defense of Ghana.

However, thanks to a strong display from the Black Stars, the team held on for as long as they needed to.

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.

The African side will not be in action until Thursday, November 24, 2022.
