Ghana’s 5-0 Victory Over Chad Boosts Black Stars’ Confidence in World Cup Qualifiers
The Black Stars of Ghana delivered a commanding performance on Friday night, securing a resounding 5-0 win over Chad in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier at the Accra Sports Stadium. This victory came at a crucial moment for the team, which had been struggling in front of goal in recent matches, managing only three goals in their last six outings. Their poor form had cost them a place in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, leaving doubts about their attacking capabilities. However, against Chad, Ghana’s offense was in top gear, with Antoine Semenyo, Iñaki Williams, Jordan Ayew, Mohamed Salisu, and Ernest Nuamah all finding the back of the net. The result not only secured all three points but also injected much-needed confidence into the squad as they look ahead to the remaining fixtures in the qualification campaign.
Speaking after the match, AFC Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo expressed his optimism about the team’s improved performance, emphasizing that the squad possesses goal scorers who just need to be positioned correctly. He highlighted that scoring five goals in one game is a major confidence booster and hopes the team can maintain this momentum. The Black Stars' comprehensive win now sets the stage for their next crucial encounter against Madagascar on Monday, March 24. This fixture will be played at the Al Hoceima Grand Stadium in Morocco, with Ghana aiming to solidify their position at the top of Group I. A victory in this match would further enhance their chances of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, which remains their ultimate goal.
This impressive performance against Chad comes at a time when Ghanaian football fans have been eager for a resurgence in the national team’s form. After failing to qualify for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations, the pressure has been mounting on head coach Otto Addo and his players to deliver better results. The emphatic nature of the win suggests that the team is beginning to rediscover its attacking rhythm, which could prove vital in the remaining qualifiers. With players like Jordan Ayew and Iñaki Williams stepping up and contributing significantly to the scoreline, Ghana appears to be on the right track. As the Black Stars turn their focus to their next match, fans will be hoping for a repeat of their dominant display, ensuring that the team remains on course for a spot at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
