Black Stars captain Jordan Ayew believes nothing could have stopped Ghana from securing victory over the Central African Republic.
In the Matchday 9 fixture of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Ghana produced a dominant display, thrashing Central African Republic 5-0 on Wednesday afternoon.
Goals from Mohammed Salisu, Thomas Partey, Jordan Ayew, Alexander Djiku, and Kamaldeen Sulemana helped the Black Stars extend their lead in Group I to 22 points — putting them just one point away from qualification for the 2026 World Cup.
Speaking after the game, the Leicester City forward credited the team’s strong mentality and unity for the impressive win.
“With the determination and motivation we had today, whoever was on the pitch against us would’ve lost. From the first minute, we were at it,” Ayew said.
“When we scored the first goal, we were all happy, united, and playing as brothers — and this is what I want to see. If we keep this commitment and attitude, no one can stop us.”
The Black Stars will now shift focus to their next game against Comoros on Sunday at the Accra Sports Stadium, as they look to book their spot in the 2026 World Cup.
