The Black Stars of Ghana put out an amazing performance last Friday evening to beat Les Sao of Chad by five goals to nil at the Accra Sports Stadium which was filled to capacity in their 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifier.
After consultations with major stakeholders like Parliament which represents the people, Sports Writers Association of Ghana (SWAG), the Professional Footballers Association of Ghana (PfAG) and Ministry of Sports and Recreation collaborating with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism as well as the National Sports Authority (NSA) ensuring that the venue and other things are done right and well, the stage was set for a good match, and the Stars did well to make Ghanaians happy.
President John Dramani Mahama said the result gave him a good appetite to eat well, as he was advised to eat before going to the stadium to watch the match.
Hon. Kofi Adams personally invited Ghanaians to watch and pray for the Black Stars to qualify as the World Cup is very important.
Coach Otto Addo and his charges did what was expected with good goals coming from Antoine Semenyo, Inaki Williams, Mohammed Salisu, Jordan Ayew and Ernest Nuamah who many described as the man of the match.
In posts for the Black Stars was local goalie Benjamin Asare of Accra Hearts of Oak, who inspired the game as many Ghanaians were so elated to see him as the number one choice.
New captain Jordan Ayew also proved to be an experienced leader with the support of Thomas Partey, Gideon Mensah, Kingsley Schindler, Alexander Djiku and Mohammed Kudus.
The Black Stars, who now lead the group with 12 points, face Madagascar on Monday in Morocco. A win will give them 15 points.
We wish the team all the best.
