Black Stars Thrash Central African Republic 5-0 Ahead of Decisive World Cup Qualifier Against Comoros on Sunday
Ghana Roars in Meknès with Statement Win Over Central African Republic
The Black Stars of Ghana produced a sensational performance in Morocco, hammering the Central African Republic 5-0 in their penultimate 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier. The commanding victory at the Stade d’Honneur de Meknès puts Ghana in pole position to qualify from Group I, needing just a single point from their final match against Comoros on Sunday to book their ticket to North America.
It was a display of pace, precision and power as Otto Addo’s side completely outclassed the Fauves, scoring one in the first half and exploding with four more in the second.
Ghana didn’t waste time asserting dominance. The Black Stars started the game on the front foot, pressing high and creating opportunities from the opening whistle. Their early intent paid off in the 21st minute when center-back Mohammed Salisu broke the deadlock.
After a well-delivered corner by Mohammed Kudus, Salisu leaped above his marker and planted a powerful header past the Central African goalkeeper. It was a goal crafted from the training ground and showed Ghana’s set-piece threat.
