In a recent friendly match leading up to their World Cup qualifiers and the upcoming AFCON, the national football team of Ghana, known as the Black Stars, faced a 2-0 defeat against the Mexican team. The first half of the game ended without any goals, but in the second half, the Mexican squad secured both of their goals.
While there were opportunities for Ghana’s goalkeeper Ati Zigi to make crucial saves, he couldn’t prevent the two goals from Mexico. It’s safe to say that he had a challenging day on the field.
This defeat extends Ghana’s unfortunate record against Mexico, making it four consecutive losses against them. The aggregate score in these meetings stands at 6-1 in favor of the Mexican team.
In addition, this match marked a significant moment for Chris Hughton, who recently took on the role of head coach for the Black Stars. Unfortunately, it was his first loss as the team’s coach.
