A hard-fought 1-0 victory over Mali at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday night has placed Ghana's Black Stars on the brink of qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with their destiny now firmly within their control.
The crucial win, sealed by a second-half goal from defender Alexander Djiku, propelled Ghana to the summit of Group I with 19 points.
More importantly, it means Otto Addo's side requires just four points from their final two matches to secure an automatic berth in the tournament.
The path is clear: Ghana will face the Central African Republic (CAR) away and Comoros at home in the October international window.
