It was not the best of starts for Ghana as they lost 3-0 to United States of America, in their first Group D game at the 2022 FIFA U-20 women’s World Cup in Costa Rica.
Aside suffering a disappointing opening day defeat Ghana had a player sent off early in the game.
USA broke the deadlock in the 11th thanks to skipper Michelle Cooper.
Things went from bad to worse for Ghana in the 31st minute, as Jacqueline Owusu was sent off after a foul on midfielder Korbin Albert following consultations with VAR.
