2026 WCQ: The Black Stars were unstoppable against CAR – Jordan Ayew following the 5-0 victory

Captain Jordan Ayew of the Black Stars has asserted that Ghana’s impressive 5-0 triumph over the Central African Republic was inevitable.

During the Matchday 9 encounter of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers on Wednesday, the Black Stars showcased their dominance at the Stade d’Honneur, with goals from Mohammed Salisu, Thomas Partey, Jordan Ayew, Alexander Djiku, and Kamaldeen Sulemana, which propelled Ghana to a total of 22 points at the top of Group I.

This resounding victory places Ghana just one point shy of clinching a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

In his remarks following the match, the Leicester City forward attributed the team’s success to their unity and resolve, which contributed to their commanding display.

“With the determination and motivation we exhibited today, any opponent on the field against us would have faced defeat. From the very first minute, we were fully engaged,” Ayew stated.

“Upon scoring the initial goal, we all felt joy, unity, and played like brothers — this is the spirit I wish to see. If we maintain this level of commitment and attitude, no one will be able to stop us,” he further expressed.

The Black Stars are now set to shift their attention to the crucial match against Comoros on Sunday at the Accra Sports Stadium, where securing just one point will guarantee Ghana’s fifth participation in the world’s premier football event.
