Portugal is currently 9th in the FIFA world rankings, much higher than the Ghana team which is currently 61st.
In its history, Seleção das Quinas is very experienced in international competitions by qualifying for the World Cup 7 times, winning fourth place and winning the European Cup.
The last match as a pre-2022 World Cup warm-up event succeeded in boosting the team’s enthusiasm because they won 4-0 over Nigeria. The four goals for Portugal were scored by Bruno Fernandes (2 goals), Goncalo Ramos and Joao Mario.
Meanwhile, the mega star Cristiano Ronaldo has not been played by Portugal head coach Fernando Santos in the trial match.
On the other hand, Ghana came to the Qatar World Cup with half the players from five top league sides, including well-known striker Biba Williams and Crystal Palace striker Jordan Ayew.
The Black Stars also came in high spirits after beating Switzerland in a friendly match last Thursday. They won 2-0 through goals from Salisu and Semenyo.
Obviously, Ghana’s presence at the 2022 World Cup cannot be underestimated. Moreover, the condition of the former Manchester United player’s main striker, Cristiano Ronaldo, is in a serious decline.
