Ghana Smash Madagascar 3-0 In AFCON 2023 Qualifying Game

The Black Stars of Ghana have started well in their campaign to make it to the 2023 African Cup of Nations which will be hosted in the Ivory Coast.

Last night, Ghana hosted Madagascar in their Group E opening game at the Cape Coast Stadium.

The team did not disappoint the supporters who turned out massively to cheer coach Otto Addo’s men who recently booked their place in the upcoming World Cup in Qatar.

Coming into the game, the Black Stars were seen as favourites to win the game, they smashed Madagascar 3-0 to win its first of six AFCON 2023 qualifying games at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium.

The Black Stars of Ghana collected all the three points thanks to goals from Kudus Mohammed and AS Roma striker, Felix Afena-Gyan also grabbed his debut goal for Ghana and Osman Bulgarian.

The game remained goalless at halftime due to poor finishing and a tenacious opponent in Madagascar’s goalkeeper.

At the start of the second half, the Black Stars continued to dominate and were rewarded when Kudus tapped into an empty net after a cutback from the right in the 53rd minute.

Afena-Gyan pushed a loose ball home from a Jordan Ayew corner to double the advantage minutes later.

Ghana pressed forward and rightfully added a third goal when substitute Osman Bukari around the Madagascar goalkeeper and sent the ball into the net.

Ghana tops its group with a goal difference separating Angola who earlier on defeated CAR 2-1.
