The Black Stars, Ghana's national football team, fell to Mexico in a demoralizing 2-0 defeat despite not having a single shot on goal during the game. Given the underwhelming offensive performance shown in the statistics, the game took place at Bank of America Stadium and went according to plan.
Ghana struggled to advance in terms of goal attempts while having over 50% of possession. They only succeeded in four attempts, as opposed to Mexico's 14. The Black Stars failed to get any shots on target, whereas Mexico managed to get four. This was the biggest difference. Ghanaians were disappointed with the outcome, especially those who stayed up late to watch the game.
Going forward, the Black Stars will concentrate on their upcoming task as they get ready to play the United States of America on Tuesday, October 17, 2023, in Nashville, Tennessee. Despite losing to Mexico, the team is still committed to reorganizing and showing off their full potential in the following matches.
Several lessons can be drawn from Ghana's performance after assessing the defeat. The team's inability to produce a single shot on goal highlighted their disorganized play and their generally subpar performance. Additionally, Ghana has had difficulty scoring goals, as was evident in this game. Concerns are raised regarding their preparation for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, given their reliance on just one goal in just two games under coach Chris Hughton.

The performance of goalkeeper Lawrence Ati-Zigi was also questioned, as he conceded two avoidable goals. It is evident that Ghana missed the presence of key defenders Alexander Djiku, Daniel Amartey, and Mohammed Salisu, who were unavailable for the match.
Coach Chris Hughton acknowledged that the team's defensive lapses resulted in conceding both goals. The Irish-born Ghanaian coach accepted responsibility for the loss and admitted that Ghana struggled to handle Mexico's intensity throughout the match.
