One for Asamoah Gyan as USA defeat Ghana 2-1 in friendly

Ghana ended their tour of America with a 2-1 defeat to USA in Connecticut on Saturday.

Having missed a first-half penalty, Black Stars’ Skipper Asamoah Gyan pulled one back from a set-piece.

All four meetings between the teams have now ended 2-1, the Black Stars winning at the 2006 and 2010 World Cups, before USA gained revenge in Brazil three years ago and Saturday’s friendly.

The USA were using the match to prepare for the Gold Cup opener against Panama next weekend, while Ghana warming up ahead of an African Nations Championship preliminary game against Burkina Faso in August.
