The Black Starlets stumbled to a 1-0 loss to the United States of America in their second group game at the U-17 World Cup.
After a hard fought 1-0 win over Colombia in the first game, the Starlets were once again wasteful in front of goal and were punished mercilessly for it.
Substitute Ayo Akinola slotted in the ball in the 75th minute, beating two onrushing defenders.
The Ghana team were once again dangerous in attack, creating numerous chances but failing to convert.
It has been a problem with this team since it was built and if they do not fix their profligacy, they would surely be coming home prematurely.
Ghana plays India in the final group game later this week, with just a draw being sufficient to qualify for the second round.
