Ghana’s national football team, the Black Stars, secured a convincing 3-0 win over Madagascar in their 2026 FIFA World Cup Group I qualifier on Monday. The match, played at the Grand Stade Al-Hoceima in Morocco, saw Ghana assert their dominance from the outset, dictating the pace and dominating possession.
Thomas Partey opened the scoring in the 11th minute, heading home a delightful Jordan Ayew free kick. The Arsenal midfielder’s goal marked his 14th international strike for the Black Stars. Ghana continued to threaten, but Madagascar’s defense held firm, and the score remained 1-0 at halftime.
In the second half, Madagascar made several substitutions, introducing fresh legs in an attempt to alter the game’s dynamics. However, Ghana remained resolute, with Partey scoring his second goal in the 54th minute, courtesy of another impressive Jordan Ayew corner kick.
Mohammed Kudus added Ghana’s third goal in the 59th minute, providing a comfortable cushion. The West Ham United ace coolly slotted home after being put through by Jordan Ayew. Ghana’s win solidifies their position at the top of Group I with 15 points, five points clear of second-placed Madagascar.
The Black Stars’ dominant performance was a testament to their growing strength and cohesion under coach Otto Addo. With this win, Ghana takes a significant step towards qualifying for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Madagascar, on the other hand, will look to regroup and refocus their efforts in the remaining qualifiers.
Ghana’s next match is scheduled for September, when they will face Chad away from home. With their current form and momentum, the Black Stars will be looking to continue their winning streak and secure their spot in the World Cup.
The win over Madagascar marks Ghana’s second consecutive victory in the qualifiers, following their 5-0 thrashing of Chad on Friday. The Black Stars’ attacking trio of Jordan Ayew, Antoine Semenyo, and Mohammed Kudus posed significant problems for Madagascar’s defense, creating scoring opportunities aplenty.
As Ghana celebrates this convincing win, the team’s fans will be eagerly anticipating their next match, hoping to see the Black Stars continue their dominant form and secure their place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
