\n Accra, March 24, GNA \u2013 Ghana\u2019s national team, the Black Stars, won against Madagascar with a score of 3-0 in their 2026 World Cup qualifying match held at the Al Hoceima Grand Stadium in Morocco.\n <\/p>\n

\n Thomas Partey netted two goals and Mohammed Kudus contributed one as the Black Stars secured a dominant win over Madagascar.\n <\/p>\n

\n In Group I, Ghana tops the standings with 15 points, followed closely by Madagascar with 10 points. Mali and Comoros share the third position with nine points apiece.\n <\/p>\n

\n The Central African Republic ranks fifth with five points, whereas Chad sits at the bottom of the group without any points.\n <\/p>\n

\n The Ghana coach, Otto Addo, introduced some alterations by beginning with Jerome Opoku and Abu Francis in the lineup while leaving out Ernest Nuamah and Inaki Williams as substitutes.\n <\/p>\n

\n The Black Stars began the match strongly, putting pressure on Madagascar\u2019s defense, with Salisu Mohammed nearly scoring in the fifth minute.\n <\/p>\n

\n In the 11th minute, Partey gave the BlackStars the lead with a strong header off Jordan Ayew\u2019s exquisite cross at the edge of the penalty area.\n <\/p>\n

\n The Ghanaian team\u2019s defensive setup was remarkably solid during the initial thirty minutes, effectively curbing their adversaries’ offensive efforts.\n <\/p>\n

\n Goalkeeper Benjamin Asare, appearing for the second time with the Black Stars, enjoyed a relatively calm first half as Madagascar struggled to get their shots on target within the penalty area.\n <\/p>\n

\n Ghana maintained their single-goal advantage of 1-0 as the match reached halftime.\n <\/p>\n

\n Ghana’s Black Stars began the second half strongly and added a buffer with a goal from Thomas Partey, who directed his header into the net following a fine delivery from Jordan Ayew.\n <\/p>\n

\n In the 59th minute, Kudus Mohamed extended the Black Stars’ lead with his third goal, assisted by Jordan Ayew.\n <\/p>\n

\n Ghana\u2019s captain Ayew pulled off an assist hat-trick in a magnificent performance, leading his team to an easy win.\n <\/p>\n

\n Madagascar tried hard to cut down the deficit, yet Ghana remained firm in their defense and managed to keep a shutout throughout the full 90 minutes.\n <\/p>\n

\n Ghana will proceed with their bid for qualification during the upcoming rounds in September, featuring matches against Chad and Mali.\n <\/p>\n
