Ghana’s national team, the Black Stars, delivered a masterclass in attacking football on Friday, dismantling Chad 5-0 in a 2026 World Cup qualifier.
The victory propelled Ghana to the top of Group I, setting the stage for a pivotal showdown with Madagascar on Monday.
From kickoff, Ghana’s high-pressing strategy left Chad reeling. The breakthrough arrived early when Antoine Semenyo capitalized on a goalmouth scramble, slotting home after a series of ricochets in the box.
Jordan Ayew, though, squandered a gilt-edged chance moments later, ballooning a shot over the bar from point-blank range.
The Black Stars’ relentless pressure soon paid dividends. Inaki Williams rose to meet a pinpoint cross from Kinglsey Schindler with a thumping header, fulfilling his pre-match pledge to score.
Five minutes later, Jordan Ayew atoned for his earlier miss by converting a penalty after Semenyo was fouled in the box. By halftime, Ghana led 3-0, with Chad failing to muster a single shot on target.
