Ghana Remains Winless After 1-1 Draw with Wales

Lewis Koumas headed in a late equaliser to give Wales a 1‑1 friendly draw at home to the Black Stars of Ghana, BBC Sport reports.

The result leaves Ghana winless in their last four matches, with three defeats and one draw.

The Ghanaian side were denied a winning start under Carlos Queiroz as part of their World Cup preparations.

Daniel James struck the post and the crossbar in quick succession for the home side during a first half that Wales largely controlled.

After an indifferent opening hour at a sparsely populated Cardiff City Stadium, Ghana rewarded their exuberant fans with the opening goal when substitute Caleb Yirenkyi pounced on a rebound.

Wales finally earned the goal their performance deserved in the third minute of added time, when Neco Williams’ inviting cross from the right was headed in by a stooping Koumas to score his first international goal.

Having missed out on World Cup qualification by losing to Bosnia‑Herzegovina at this ground in March, this was a third game without victory for Craig Bellamy’s men, even though the performance had its bright moments.

Ghana are drawn against 1966 World Cup winners England, 2018 World Cup runners‑up Croatia and Panama.

At the Qatar 2022 World Cup, Ghana crashed out in the group stage.
