Iceland versus Ghana

Ghana rallied from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Iceland in an international friendly match at the Laugardalsvöllur Stadium on Thursday evening.

The World Cup-bound side took an early lead mark when Thomas Partey diverted a corner kick into his own net.

Black Stars came strongly in the game as they tried to restore parity but failed to penetrate the steady defense of the Strákarnir okkar.

Despite Ghana's improved performance, Iceland doubled their lead on the stroke of half time courtesy Augsburg forward Alfred Finnbogason.

But the Back Stars greatly improved in the second department of the match as they attacked the hosts with pace and purpose until Young Boys defender Kassim Nuhu halved the deficit in the 61st minute after pouncing on a loose ball in the penalty box.

Ghana pulled level in the 87 minute through captain Thomas Partey who connected beautifully to Frank Acheampong's low cross.
