Ghana beat Switzerland in friendly

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that defender Mohammed Salisu and forward Antoine Semenyo scored their first goals for the Black Stars as Ghana beat Switzerland in their final friendly ahead of the World Cup.

Salisu's second half lofting header and Semenyo's powerful strike ensured the Black Stars leave for Qatar with their confidence boosted. Switzerland started off well with Ruben Vargas coming close in the 6th minute after meeting a cross from Breel Embolo from the right. Ghana has beaten Switzerland in the final friendly ahead of the World Cup.

However, the Black Stars responded moments later after Baba Rahman sent in a through ball, which was fired by Daniel Afriyie Barnieh, but did not trouble Switzerland goalkeeper Yann Sommer.

The Black Stars of Ghana announced their presence in Qatar in a fashionable way after arriving in traditional wear on Friday.

The team touched down in Doha on Friday evening after leaving Abu Dhabi, where they spent the last four days.
