Faced with challenges early in the tournament, including a 3-0 loss to Norway in their opening game, Ghana demonstrated resilience by staging an impressive comeback to secure a 3-3 draw against Brazil. Their subsequent performance against Canada, a 2-0 win, solidified their qualification to the last 16.\n\nIn contrast, Argentina topped their group with a strong campaign, setting the stage for a formidable challenge against the West African side.
