The game was a good exercise for Ghana and Mexico ahead of the start of the FIFA U20 World Cup.
The Black Princesses will begin their tournament with a game against Austria on September 2 before facing Japan and New Zealand in subsequent Group E matches.
Black Princesses can make knockout stages
Speaking to Ghanaian journalist, Kosi Fiaka, the Woezor TV presenter believes the Black Princesses have what it takes to make it out of the group.
He told Yen.com.gh: "When you look at Ghana's group, Japan are the only team to have tasted success at the U20 Women's World Cup and the Black Princesses have encountered them in the past and have a fair knowledge about their style. Austria and New Zealand are relatively inexperienced compared to Ghana, who are making a seventh appearance at the competition. We should be able to stand the test of Austria and New Zealand."
