The Black Stars have finished third in the 2022 edition of the Kirin Cup tournament after beating Chile on penalties.

Ghana’s head coach, Otto Addo made five changes to his team for their second match on Tuesday morning.

After 90 minutes of thriller, which saw the West African side finish the game with nine men, the Stars managed to secure a 3-1 win in the penalty shootout to clinch the third spot.
