The match took place at the MHPArena in Stuttgart on March 30, 2026 and was scheduled as one of Germany’s pre‑World Cup friendly fixtures. (dfb.de) Deniz Undav rejoined the side from VfB Stuttgart and was brought on at half‑time, replacing Serge Gnabry (46'), after being recalled to the national squad following strong club form. (11v11.com) Kai Havertz opened the scoring from the penalty spot in first‑half stoppage time (45+3) and Ghana’s Abdul Fatawu Issahaku levelled on 70 minutes, finishing from close range after a move involving Derrick Köhn. (sofascore.com) Stat lines show Germany controlled the ball — roughly 69% possession with about 696 passes and 98 entries into the final third — yet several outlets described the overall performance as unconvincing and nervy at times. (sofascore.com) The result followed Germany’s 4-3 win in Switzerland three days earlier and media coverage flagged that Undav’s return to the squad and his late contribution will intensify pressure on coach Julian Nagelsmann when finalising his World Cup selection. (dfb.de) Ghana’s preparations now include a confirmed friendly against Mexico on May 22, 2026, while Germany’s next scheduled warm‑ups are Finland on May 31 and a final U.S. friendly in Chicago on June 6.
