Wales rescued a dramatic late draw against Ghana as Lewis Koumas struck deep into stoppage time to earn the hosts a 1-1 result in an entertaining international friendly.
After a tightly contested first half in which Wales were able to create clear-cut chances, Ghana gradually grew into the game and looked the more threatening side after the break. Their persistence was rewarded in the 66th minute when Caleb Yirenkyi found the breakthrough, finishing calmly to put the Black Stars ahead and silence the home crowd.
The visitors appeared on course for an impressive away victory as they defended resolutely and limited Wales’ attacking opportunities for much of the second half. Ghana’s backline stood firm under increasing pressure, while the midfield worked tirelessly to protect the slender advantage.
However, just as the Black Stars seemed set to celebrate victory, Wales found a way back. In the third minute of added time, Lewis Koumas arrived to convert after being set up by Neco Williams, sending the home supporters into celebration and snatching a draw from the brink of defeat.
The late equaliser ensured the spoils were shared at full time, with both teams leaving the contest with positives to take forward. Ghana will be encouraged by long spells of disciplined and effective football, while Wales can take pride in their resilience and refusal to give up until the final whistle.
In the end, a dramatic finish saw the friendly conclude 1-1, with Koumas’ stoppage-time intervention denying Ghana what would have been a hard-earned victory.
