Germany Leave It Late to Edge Past Ghana Ahead of 2026 FIFA World Cup

Germany continued their preparations for the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026 with another hard-fought victory, edging past Ghana 2-1 in an entertaining international friendly. Following a thrilling 4-3 win over Switzerland, Julian Nagelsmann's side maintained their perfect record during the international break, but this time, it required patience and composure.
In their previous outing, Florian Wirtz stole the spotlight with a sensational performance, registering two goals and two assists. However, against Ghana, the spotlight shifted as Germany were forced to grind out a result against a resilient opponent.
The breakthrough came via Kai Havertz, who calmly converted from the penalty spot to give Germany the lead. Yet Ghana responded with determination, and Abdul Fatawu Issahaku brought the visitors level with a well-taken goal, setting up a tense finale.
With the clock ticking down and the game seemingly heading for a draw, Germany found a late winner in dramatic fashion. Deniz Undav struck in the 88th minute, sealing the victory and ensuring Die Mannschaft head into the FIFA World Cup 2026 on the back of a flawless run of results.
