Both teams introduced some fresh limbs in the dying minutes but it was Ghana who continued to show promise by creating scoring chances in the 79th and 89th minutes only for Kudus to miss the target narrowly. In their quest to level up, Nicaragua started using open spaces in their swift counter attacks but lacked the finesse to break down the solid Stars defence. It was a match Ghana dominated and created numerous scoring chances in both halves but failed to convert them.

It’s clear the strikers of the team – Inaki Williams being the latest – usually lack service, which makes it difficult for them to thrive and that is not on the Ayew brothers. Per his performances, he has earned the right to be a starter for Ghana. Another player who distinguished himself during the game against Nicaragua was Daniel Kofi Kyereh. He was one of Ghana’s best players against Nicaragua, tracking back nicely and also joining the attack when he needed to. The team created enough chances to have won the game more handsomely, but they just couldn’t convert any of them. However, he took too long to ring the in-game substitutions, with his first change coming with less than a quarter of an hour left.
