The morning after a defeat is not too pleasant but the next game always presents an opportunity to correct mistakes and that is what the Black Stars will be hoping for.
Ghana face the United States of America in the early hours of Wednesday in their second friendly game of the October international break.
Chris Hughton’s men fell to a 0-2 defeat to Mexico in their earlier fixture over the weekend at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.
The result was the first time Hughton has ended up on the losing side since taking over the Ghana national team as the head coach. He had drawn two and won three of his first five games in charge of the Black Stars.
Ghana was not the only team on the losing side as USA also suffered defeat against Euro 2024 hosts Germany over the weekend.
Christian Pulisic scored the Americans but Germany proved superior as they scored three times in the fixture.
In USA, the Black Stars face a familiar foe having met on several occasions on the world stage in the past.
There have been four meetings between the two teams since the major meeting at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, with each side picking two wins each. Three of the four games have come at the World Cup where the Black Stars have recorded wins in two of them (2006 and 2010).
USA, however, beat Ghana in the group stage at the 2014 World Cup before they also triumphed over the four-time African champions in a friendly back in 2017.
Interestingly, all four games involving these two teams have ended 2-1.
Both coaches are expected to tweak their starting lineups for the game on Wednesday morning after suffering defeats in their last game.
The game is scheduled for 00:30 GMT kickoff at the GEODIS Park in Nashville.
