Jordan Ayew scored a decisive goal on Thursday during the 1-1 draw between Ghana and Chad in the African qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. This goal, scored before halftime, nearly secured an important victory for the Ghanaian team, which currently leads Group I with 16 points after seven matches. However, a late goal from Chad in the final minutes canceled out this advantage, leaving Ghana needing to fight to maintain its position at the top of the group.
This key moment comes amid high tension for Ghana, struggling to fulfill its international ambitions despite a strong squad. The Ministry of Sports, represented by Kofi Adams, visited the team to encourage them to recover quickly, especially ahead of the decisive match against Mali scheduled for Monday, September 8, 2025, in Accra.
Jordan Ayew’s goal reaffirms his essential role in Ghana’s attack. His commitment allows Ghana to hold a theoretical advantage in this qualification race, ahead of rivals such as Madagascar, Mali, and Comoros. Despite the disappointing final score, this achievement boosts the morale of the Black Stars at a critical moment in their qualifying campaign.
As Ghana prepares for upcoming matches against the Central African Republic and Comoros in October 2025, Jordan Ayew’s recent offensive contributions highlight his importance. His goal in the last 24 hours remains a significant event in African football news, capturing the attention of fans and specialized press.
