The best opportunities came in the second half. Anthony Gordon tested the reflexes of goalkeeper Benjamin Asare in the 57th minute, while Kane tried to break the deadlock with a long-range shot that also found a response from the African goalkeeper.<\/p>n”\n\n“n

Ghana came close to causing an upset through a quick counterattack led by Prince Adu, but defender Ezri Konsa prevented the final shot when the opportunity seemed unbeatable.<\/p>n”\n\n“n
