In an international friendly held at the Bank of America stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, Mexico emerged victorious with a 2-0 win against Ghana.

Hirving Lozano scored the first goal in the 57th minute, and Antuna Romero added the second goal in the 72nd minute.

Ghana started the match with a 3-back formation, featuring Stephan Ambrosius, Nicholas Opoku, and Joseph Aidoo in defense.

Thomas Partey and Elisha Owusu partnered in midfield, with Antoine Semenyo leading the attack and Mohammed Kudus and Joseph Painstil on the wings. Kingsley Schindler and Gideon Mensah played as wingbacks.

Ghana had a bright start to the game, with Joseph Painstil delivering a cross in the 14th minute that eluded everyone and went out of play.

However, Ghana was forced to make a change in the 27th minute when Joseph Aidoo was replaced by Alidu Seidu due to a suspected ligament injury.

Despite having moments of control in the match, Ghana lacked the firepower upfront to score.

Mexico's Hirvin Lozano found the net in the 57th minute, giving his side the lead with a sleek finish from a midfield pass.

Ghana's coach, Chris Hughton, made substitutions by bringing on Ernest Nuamah, Jordan Ayew, and Inaki Williams for Kingsley Schindler, Joseph Painstil, and Antoine Semenyo.

Mexico increased their lead in the 72nd minute through Antuna Romero, who expertly controlled a midfield pass and slotted the ball past Ghana's goalkeeper, Lawrence Ati-Zigi.

Ghana pushed forward in an attempt to change the dynamics of the game, but Mexico held on for their fourth successive win over Ghana.

The Black Stars will play the United States of America at GEODIS Park in Nashville, Tennessee, on Tuesday, October 17, 2023.
