Ghana’s quest for a fifth World Cup appearance gained massive momentum as the Black Stars produced a commanding performance to defeat the Central African Republic, with goals from Mohammed Salisu, Jordan Ayew, Thomas Partey, and Alexander Djiku sealing a crucial win.

The match, played in a charged atmosphere, saw Ghana take early control with Salisu rising highest to head home the opener. The Black Stars continued to dictate play, and Jordan Ayew doubled the advantage with a composed finish following a slick team move.

After the break, Thomas Partey marked his return to international duty in style, curling in a superb strike from distance to extend Ghana’s lead. The dominance continued as Alexander Djiku put the result beyond doubt with a towering header from a corner.

Despite a late surge from the Central African Republic, the Black Stars’ defensive unit stood firm to ensure the victory — a result that keeps Otto Addo’s men firmly in control of their World Cup qualifying destiny.
