The Black Challenge were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw by Colombia in their second Group D at the 2026 WAFF Amputee Football World Cup in Mexico on Sunday.
Despite producing a dominant performance and taking the lead through Mohammed Mubarik, the Ghanaian side failed to translate their superiority into victory, allowing the South Americans to fight back and secure a share of the spoils.
The result leaves Ghana still searching for their first victory in the tournament following their opening-day 2-0 defeat to former world champions Angola.
Determined to respond to that setback, coach Stephen Richard Obeng's men started brightly and took control of proceedings, putting Colombia under considerable pressure with their attacking intent.
Their persistence finally paid off in the 31st minute when Mohammed Mubarik found the back of the net to give Ghana a deserved lead and raise hopes of securing their first three points of the competition.
However, the advantage proved short-lived as Colombia restored parity just seven minutes later. Carlos Andres Hernandez Mejia struck in the 38th minute to punish Ghana's failure to protect their lead and send both teams into the break level at 1-1.
The draw leaves Ghana with plenty to do heading into their final Group D fixture against Iraq on Monday, November 16.
With qualification for the knockout stage still within reach, the Black Challenge must now deliver a victory against the Iraqis to stand a chance of progressing.
