Black Satellites were beaten 3-1 by France.
Ghana suffered their first opening match defeat at a FIFA U20 World Cup after a humiliating 3-1 reverse to France in Group A on Friday.
The Black Satellites conceded two goals in three minutes and a superb third through Bahebeck from a difficult angle.
Les Bleuets opened the scoring after 65 minutes when midfielder Geoffery Kondogbia, unmarked inside the box, headed in a throw-in.
Three minutes, Arsenal target Yaya Sanogo doubled the lead when he nutmegged goalkeeper Eric Ofori Antwi after collecting a defence splitting pass from midfield.
Pierre Mankowski’s side piled pressure and profited from their second half onslaught after a barren first half.
Troyes winger Jean Christophe Bahebeck put the match beyond the 2009 world champions with a fine finish.
Substitute Richmond Boakye-Yiadom reduced the deficit with a close range finish on 85 minutes after a nice cross from the left.
Ghana must now beat Spain in their second match on Monday to stand a chance of progressing to the round of 16.
