Ghana was held to a 1-1 draw by Wales at the Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday after conceding a late equalizer.
The Black Stars took the lead through Caleb Yirenkyi in the 66th minute, but Wales struck back in the closing stages to deny Ghana victory.
Introduced in the 60th minute, Caleb Yirenkyi needed only six minutes to make his mark, tapping in from close range.
The goal came after Wales failed to deal with a dangerous attack led by Ernest Nuamah, with Yirenkyi finishing calmly to give Ghana the lead.
Nuamah was Ghana’s standout performer after coming on in the second half.
The Olympique Lyon winger was electric on the right flank, constantly troubling the Wales backline.
The Black Stars looked dangerous with Nuamah and Bonsu Baah on the flanks, but Wales had the last laugh with a late goal from Lewis Koumas three minutes into stoppage time.
Coach Carlos Queiroz will take positives from the performance, having spent only about a week with the side ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The Black Stars now turn attention to preparations for the tournament, which kicks off on June 11, 2026.
Ghana has been drawn in Group L alongside Panama, England, and Croatia.
The team opens their campaign against Panama on June 17 before facing England and Croatia in the other group matches.
