Ghana\u2019s Black Starlets suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of USA in their second group game at the ongoing FIFA Under 17 World Cup in India.<\/p>\n
The Americans dominated the opening stages of the game and went close to taking the lead on a couple of occasions but were denied by Starlets goalkeeper Ibrahim Danlad.<\/p>\n
Ghana grew into the game and produced some scintillating spells with only the finishing letting the down.<\/p>\n
Starlets\u2019 Emmanuel Toku had what was arguably the chance of the game when he fired off target from 6 yards after being put through on goal by Ibrahim Sadiq on 51 minutes.<\/p>\n
Substitute Ayo Akinola punished the Starlets wastefulness when he finished coolly on 75 minutes in what was the game\u2019s winning goal.<\/p>\n
The defeat leaves Ghana on 3 points after two games with the team set to face India in the last group game on Thursday.<\/p>\n
