The Black Stars put on a commanding display in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier, defeating Madagascar 3-0. Thomas Partey scored a brace, while Mohammed Kudus added a third to seal the win.

Ghana took the lead early, with Partey heading in a precise cross from captain Jordan Ayew. Despite Madagascar holding 51% possession, they struggled to break through Ghana’s well-organized defense.

Kudus had a chance to double the lead in the 15th minute, but his effort was denied by a quick save from the Madagascar goalkeeper.

After the break, Ghana upped the pressure. Partey scored again, converting a well-delivered corner from Ayew. Kudus then completed the victory with a composed finish, once more assisted by Ayew.
