CARDIFF, June 2 : World Cup-bound Ghana conceded a last-gasp equaliser to hosts Wales to draw 1-1 in their friendly international on Tuesday and extended their winless run to six matches.
Lewis Koumas netted with a diving header three minutes into stoppage time after Ghana looked on their way to a morale-boosting victory ahead of their departure to this month’s tournament in Canada, Mexico and the United States.
Substitute Caleb Yirenkyi snapped up a rebound off the upright to convert from close range in the 66th minute to give Ghana the lead after a bursting run from the halfway line from Ernest Nuamah.
It was one of Ghana’s rare forward forays in a match which Wales dominated but failed to take their chances.

The home side came closest in the first half when Dan James first had a point-blank header palmed away by Ghana goalkeeper Lawrence Ati-Zigi and then hit the crossbar minutes later.
Ghana’s opening game in Group L at the World Cup is against Panama in Toronto on June 17.
