Wales head coach Craig Bellamy has praised Ghana’s quality and growing strength after his side secured a dramatic 1-1 draw in an international friendly at Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday night. The Black Stars looked set to claim an impressive away victory after substitute Caleb Yirenkyi marked his international debut with a well-taken goal in the 66th minute.
However, Wales salvaged a draw deep into stoppage time when Lewis Koumas found the back of the net to deny Ghana a memorable win. Speaking after the match, Bellamy expressed his admiration for the four-time African champions, highlighting the quality within Ghana’s squad as they continue preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. “Ghana have good players and are getting ready for the World Cup,” Bellamy said. The Wales manager acknowledged that his team faced a difficult challenge against a talented and physically strong Ghana side that posed problems throughout the contest.
