The match saw Germany dominate possession and create multiple chances, while the Black Stars struggled to mount meaningful attacks. A tripping foul by Ghana’s J. Adjetey in the box led to the decisive spot-kick just before half-time, with Havertz calmly slotting home to make it 1-0. Ghana goalkeeper Benjamin Asare was unable to stop the well-placed effort.
This encounter follows Ghana’s recent heavy 5-1 defeat to Austria, putting added pressure on coach Otto Addo to deliver an improved performance.

At half-time, the score remains Germany 1-0 Ghana, with the hosts enjoying significant control. The second half promises to be a stern test as Ghana looks for ways to equalize and demonstrate resilience on the big stage.
