Ghana made a dreadful start to their 2016 Africa Beach Soccer Cup of Nations campaign after losing 5-0 to Ivory Coast on Tuesday in Group A.
The Black Sharks must beat Egypt, who drew 0-0 with hosts Nigeria, in their next match on Wednesday.
The two top teams in the group will advance to the semi-final stage of the tournament, which is scheduled to end on Sunday.
The winner and runner-up of the tournament will represent the continent at the 2017 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in Bahamas.
