With the lead intact, the Black Stars took control again early in the second half. In the 54th minute, Partey found the back of the net once more, this time converting another expertly delivered set-piece from Ayew to double Ghana’s lead.

Five minutes later, Ghana sealed the victory when Partey turned from scorer to provider. He linked up with Ayew, whose precise pass set up Mohammed Kudus. Kudus made no mistake, calmly slotting the ball into the net to make it 3-0 and all but seal the three points for Ghana.

With the game under control, Ghana expertly managed possession, maintaining their dominance and ensuring that Madagascar could not mount a comeback. The Black Stars secured the win with relative ease, confirming their status as leaders in Group I.

The win placed Ghana firmly at the top of the group with 15 points, while Madagascar remains in second place with 10 points. Mali sits in third with 9 points. Ghana’s solid performance brings them closer to securing qualification for the upcoming FIFA World Cup, and with this momentum, they will look to continue their strong run in the remaining qualifiers.
