Both teams, taking advantage of the FIFA international break, faced off in a highly anticipated match.

Goals from Cyriel Dessers and Ademola Lookman secured the win for interim coach Finidi George, marking his first victory in charge of the team.

Jordan Ayew managed to score Ghana’s consolation goal during the game.

The Black Stars faced adversity as they played with 10 men for most of the second half following Jerome Opoku’s red card.

Benjamin Tanimu made his debut for the Eagles, while Wilfred Ndidi returned to captain the side.

The match also marked a disappointing return for Otto Addo, the recently reappointed Black Stars coach.

The game was filled with action, with the Eagles dominating early on and creating several scoring opportunities.

Dessers, in particular, was a threat to the Ghanaian defense but was repeatedly denied by the opposing goalkeeper.

The Super Eagles were awarded a penalty in the 35th minute, which Dessers calmly converted to secure his second goal for the team.
