Ghana head coach, Chris Hughton, has charged his side to become more of a goal threat against the United States of America (USA) than it was against Mexico.
The Black Stars suffered a 2-0 defeat against Mexico on Sunday at the Bank of America Stadium both goals coming in the second half.
Speaking in a pre-game conference ahead of their second friendly game against USA, Hughton touched on key issues he observed in the loss to Mexico including the Black Stars' failure to be a prominent goal threat and has called on his team to change this against the Americans.
“To have opportunities, it means you need to penetrate a team and generally there’s two ways to penetrate and that’s working through the thirds or runs behind. They are the two areas we certainly need to do better," he said.
“Against Mexico, I said even though (in) the first half, the performance was a decent performance, over the 90 minutes, we were not a big enough threat on their goal that’s what has to change," he added.
The Ghana v USA friendly has been scheduled to take place at the Geodis Park in Nashville at 12:30 AM on Wednesday, October 18.
