In their previous outing, Ghana recorded a resounding victory during Matchday nine of the CAF qualifiers, thumping the Central African Republic 5-0 at the Stade d’Honneur de Meknes in Morocco last Wednesday.
It ranked among their finest displays in the World Cup qualifying series and marked the second occasion they’ve secured victory by such a commanding margin, as Otto Addo and his technical team seem to have rediscovered their mojo.
AS Monaco center-back Mohammed Salisu opened the scoring with a strong header in the 21st minute following Mohammed Kudus’ corner kick, as the Tottenham Hotspur playmaker continued his hot form this season.
Then, in the second half, the Black Stars added more goals, with Villarreal midfielder Thomas Partey making it 2-0 with a clean effort before Russia-based defender Alexander Djiku, skipper Jordan Ayew of Leicester City, and substitute Kamaldeen Sulemana sealed the emphatic win for the Ghana national football team.
The big win saw Ghana extend their leadership of the CAF qualification group I with 22 points and a +16 goals difference after nine matches, according to FIFA. Madagascar, who defeated Comoros 2-1 at the Stade Felix Houphouet Boigny in Abidjan, sit second in the standings with 19 points and a +8 goals difference.
In fact, Ghana’s qualification series has been defined by consistency and resilience, with a game to spare, picking up seven wins, one draw, and one loss, while scoring 21 goals and conceding only six in their nine qualifiers.
However, as they approach Sunday’s clash, Mohammed Kudus, Jordan Ayew, Thomas Partey, Kwasi Sibo, and their teammates understand the importance of staying focused and maintaining the same intensity and commitment that have propelled them to the top of Group I, as cited by FIFA.
