Fatawu Issahaku’s sublime goal gave Ghana an unpleasant 1-0 win in their international friendly against Nicaragua at the Estadio Francisco Artés Carrasco in Spain.
The Sporting Lisbon forward scored against the North American side to complete their win in the first half.
It took the 18-year-old striker 9 games to score his debut goal for the four-time African champions since scoring for the team B last year against Uzbekistan.
Despite Ghana’s efforts to go for more goals, they failed to convert the opportunities that came their way. Mohammed Kudus nearly doubled the lead but all his two goals were ruled out as an offside.
Otto Addo later brought in his captain, Andre Ayew, Bristol City’s Antoine Semenyo and Jordan Ayew in the second half but they failed to extend the lead.
The team will play Switzerland to wrap up preparations before their opening match at the FIFA World Cup on November 17.
