The Black Stars produced a dazzling performance to crush the Central African Republic 5–0 in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier, strengthening their grip on a qualification spot.
Played in Morocco on Tuesday, October 8, 2025, Ghana set the tone early with relentless pressure and crisp passing. Mohammed Salisu broke the deadlock with a powerful header from a corner, before Thomas Partey doubled the lead after a clever assist from Jordan Ayew.
Alexander Djiku added a third with another header, Ayew himself found the net with a composed finish, and Kamaldeen Sulemana wrapped up the emphatic win to cap off a dominant display.
The result sends Ghana to the top of Group I with 22 points, three ahead of second-placed Madagascar. Mali and Comoros sit third and fourth with 15 points each.
The Black Stars will return home to face Comoros at the Accra Sports Stadium on October 12, 2025 — needing just a point to confirm their qualification for the 2026 World Cup.
