Nigeria almost responded immediately through Victor Osimhen. The Napoli striker pounced on a pass from Troost Ekong but he fired his shot just wide.
Nigeria were awarded a penalty after Ademola Lookman was fouled in the box. Troost Ekong dispatched the spot kick after the VAR check.
The second half started slowly in terms of Chances. Ghana played the perfect delay strategy to knock the momentum out of the Super Eagles.
