After an unbeaten start to life as Black Stars head coach, Chris Hughton has now lost back-to-back games in the dug-out.

Hughton had enjoyed a five-game unbeaten run following his announcement as the new gaffer of the side after parting ways with Otto Addo.

Wings over Angola, Central African Republic and Liberia were accompanied by stalemates against Angola and Madagascar in the international windows after the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

However, the international window saw reality set in for the Irish manager with Ghana failing to win, draw or score a goal in their two games played.

Ghana faced Mexico over the weekend in the first of two friendly games at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte as the team lost 0-2, conceding two second-half goals.

Hughton demanded a reaction and a positive result in the game against the USA to end the international break but the Black Stars moved from bad to worse.

A Giovanni Reyna first-half brace and goals from Christian Pulisic and Folarin Balogun saw the four-time African champions lose 0-4 at the Geodis Park and suffer their biggest defeat against the USA.

The loss to the USA makes it two defeats on the bounce for Hughton and puts pressure on him ahead of next month's break when Ghana begin the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
