Mexico condemned Ghana’s Black Satellite to opening day defeat in a Group B encounter at the Stade de Lattre Aubagne in Marseille.

The Mexicans scored the only goal of the game in the 83rd minute after Victor Guzman slotted in one from inside Ghana’s goal area.

The goal came after a spirited performance from the Black Satellites in the second half of the game.

Ghana could have taken the lead in second half but the Mexican goalkeeper proved to be up to the task anytime he was called to action.

The Black Satellites will be back to action on Thursday, in a second group game where they will face Asian side, Indonesia.

Ghana are now without a point in Group B standing.

Venezuela also recorded a 1-0 win over Indonesia in the other Group B game
