Kwesi Appiah’s men failed to shine in a game which also saw defender John Boye sent off for after receiving two yellow cards.
However, Jordan Ayew was one of the few bright spots on a day when many of the players did not turn up.
The Swansea striker was a lively presence for 90 minutes and had a hand in both goals scored by the Black Stars.
First, the 27-year-old set up his brother Andre to pull Ghana level after Benin had stolen an early lead.
He then went from provider to scorer by applying a thunderous finish to put the Black Stars 2-1 up.
Jordan’s performance ensured he was adjudged Man of the Match despite the Black Stars’ inability to win.
