Mohammed Salisu and Antoine Semenyo scored in the second half to give Ghana a nice 2-0 win over fellow World Cup participants Switzerland on Thursday afternoon. The match played at Al Nahyan Stadium in Abu Dhabi revealed Swiss weaknesses in defence and potentially gave Cameroon a recipe for how to beat the Swiss when they meet in their Group H match in Qatar.🇬🇭Mohammed Salisu scores his first goal in a Black Stars jersey✔Calm and good!! pic.twitter.com/Ts2HbvAVFd— George Addo Jnr (@addojunr) November 17, 2022 ….and Ghana was able to Switch the landGhana 🇬🇭 2:0🇨🇭 Switzerland #BlackStars #FabuCensus #WorldCup2022 #WakandaForever pic.twitter.com/cqFsqY960x— Akwasi Kay (AK-0002262) (@kay_akwasi) November 17, 2022 A strong-looking Switzerland side fielded by coach Murat Yakin included Manuel Akanji, Granit Xhaka, Xherdan Shaqiri, Breel Embolo and, most importantly, talisman goalkeeper Yann Sommer, who recovered from his injury. But the European side failed to get a shot on target all match and can thank Sommer for not falling to an even more convincing defeat today.The Ayew brothers, Inaki Williams and Daniel Afriyie, provided constant threats despite leaving the majority of ball possession to their opponents. Otto Addo’s backline of Tariq Lamptey, Daniel Amartey, Mohammed Salisu and Rahman Baba looks very focused and solid.Looks like some in-club banter between Xhaka and Partey after his Ghanaian side beat the Swiss side by 2-0! Partey was only on the bench as Granit played the full match! pic.twitter.com/qVH1pvgEoW— Ndubueze Prince Chiagoziem (@NdubuezePrince5) November 17, 2022 Arsenal fans were especially intrigued by the occasion as their two most prominent central midfield players faced off. However, Thomas Partey never made it off the bench for Ghana, while his fellow Gunner Xhaka captained the Swiss and played the full 90 minutes.Mikel Arteta’s favoured duo were seen having a laugh and a joke with each other before going their separate ways ahead of the start of the World Cup on Sunday.
